Sydney Robot Workshop

Sydney Robot Workshop Robot Building workshop - just for fun Fully equipped workshop with experienced Robot builders ready to help young and old build the Robot of their dreams.

What is the Sydney Robot Workshop? The Sydney Robot Workshop is an enthusiastic robotics community group located in Meadowbank, Sydney Australia. We have a fully equipped workshop where members meet regularly to discuss and help each other build robots and work on various other projects of interest. Many of the members have had their work featured at various public and community events, publicatio

ns, conventions and on television and film. The group originally started as the local Australian chapter of the international R2-D2 Builders Group (http://www.astromech.net) but as many of the members are interested in more than just Star Wars movie robots, the workshop has branched out into other areas and plays host to several non-robotics related projects as well. Some projects currently in progress at the workshop range from full-scale movie robots such as several R2-D2s (Star Wars feature films), B9s (Lost in Space 1965 television series) and Daleks (Doctor Who television series) to real, practical purpose built robots for experimentation and commercial applications, to autonomous UAVs (Umanned Aerial Vehicles), to non-robotics related projects such as a folding flight simulator cockpit and various full scale movie and television props.

Great night tonight.
Lewis arrived with his Robbie fibreglass moulds. Thanks very much mate. There are at least 3 of us wanting to make one already!

Anthony finished the Vac form table and we did a few test runs.
Still a few wrinkles to iron out literally.
We found the speed of dropping the styrene Sheet down over the plug makes a big difference.

Dave has made progress on his red educational robotics kit.

Paul’s B9 torso is working well.

Here are some pics of the night.
