'Bicycle robot out of Lego robotics - from Scott' 
(to Craig Morrow at Bicycle Heaven Museum, Pgh PA)


Craig, from texting and more - 

"Hi Craig ... Here's a pic of the beginning of the Bicycle I just made out of the Lego Robotics' kit WeDo 2.0 ... but it also runs, has a 'road' to ride on, and still needs to be programmed with the Lego block programming language (for kids) .... stay tuned :) (http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/robotics?m=0 ... Will add a video too here when done -
 and share video with you, as well as add your fractal Bicycle Heaven Museum online exhibit here too :)"


Haven't seen yet anyone create a bicycle that rolls & balances with WeDo 2.0 Lego Robotics' kit

Pic taken in the Carnegie Library near the Mt Washington grand view overlook and that's Mt Washington in the background even 


What's a robot?

Robot definitions -

1  
(especially in science fiction) a machine resembling a human being and able to replicate certain human movements and functions automatically.
"the robot closed the door behind us"

https://languages.oup.com/google-dictionary-en/


2
a type of automated machine that can execute specific tasks with little or no human intervention and with speed and precision.
https://www.techtarget.com/searchenterpriseai/definition/robot#:~:text=A%20robot%20is%20a%20type,in%20the%20last%2050%20years.




I chose to build this one of the 2  Lego Robotics' kit WeDo 2.0 videos I sent you a while ago

3. https://youtu.be/xXk22J2Xsco and 4. https://youtu.be/LmJsyF2YSuk (they may be basically the same build)

... and the first video has the Lego Programming Blocks' sequence (with the Lego Block Programming language that comes with WeDo 2.0) 

But maybe some inventive Lego Robot WeDo 2.0 bicycle builder will figure out, with "Pulling" here - 
how to build a bicycler that balances ... 

Scott

And here's a picture the Japanese robot bicycler I was asking you about on April 21, 2023 -

Masahiko Yamaguchi, 
Bipedal Bike Riding Robot

(But it uses remotes control ...)

Now how to build this with Lego Robotics' Kit WeDo2.0 ?


Since Masahiko Yamaguchi built the bicycle, Craig, can you possibly find a way to get a replica, or similar, of such a bicycle for Bicycle Heaven Museum ? :)


Adding this text message here to 4/21/23 "Morrow's Honeysuckle ..." Post - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2023/04/morrows-honeysuckle-bicycle-heaven.html - and to today's 6/6/23 "Red Clover ..."  blog post too - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2023/06/red-clover-vt-vermont-state-flower.html :)


Cheers, Scott
(Just emailed you earlier to day too, and added what I'm calling the 'Bicycle Heaven Museum Fractal Google Street View Tour': " (sort of) to the above 2 blog posts :)

To lose weight ... since a "40-year-old, 180-pound (81.6-kg), 6-foot (183-cm) tall man ... will burn approximately 1,769 calories in a day" ... and an egg has 76 calories, and a cup of nonfat milk has 90 calories ...   



Ma, to finish this thought we talked about at lunch yesterday:
since a "40-year-old, 180-pound (81.6-kg), 6-foot (183-cm) tall man ... will burn approximately 1,769 calories in a day"https://www.healthline.com/health/fitness-exercise/how-many-calories-do-i-burn-a-day ... and an egg has 76 calories, and a cup of nonfat milk has 90 calories ... then it seems like if I eat 2 eggs (for protein) and 4-5 cups of skim milk and some dark leafy greens and small amounts of whole grains and legumes and fruit (and a multi-vitamin for iron and vitamin B12 as an ova-facto vegetarian), and aim to consume a reduced 1200 calories per day (from 2000-2500?) ... and walk 30 - 60 minutes per day, I'll bring my weight down somewhat steadily, and in a healthy way ... to 180 lbs. (as a 6'4" (192 cm tall man), or so ... Love, Scott (a Taoist approach in a sense - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/Taoism where Taoism includes the idea of wu Wei or non-action - so possibly doing less, or putting forth less effort - or eating less in this case, & possibly also yoga-wise too ... re these (Hippy-anjali) yoga notations - http://www.scottmacleod.com/ActualVirtualHarbinBook.html - and regarding good foods for health.  
 Really nice to see you, and see you soon!, Love, Scott
