Pinchy is presented as the second iteration of our previous robot, uBot. It is an educational robot specifically made to be used as an ideal medium to start learning to program, know more about robotics and familiarize yourself with the basic electronic concepts.

Pinchy is an open source educational robot that can be printed using ordinary 3D printers. It's made up of a PCB, used as a shield with an Arduino Micro on top of it, the before mentioned chasis and some sensors to interact.

The chasis that makes this robot more than a custom PCB with an Arduino is made with our 3D printers helping us to reduce the costs of assembling a fully functional educational robot. All the necessary files are here.

Pinchy's main PCB

The circuitry that is needed is in the Circuits folder, there you can find the schematics and the CAD files for the main PCB and for the custom-made optoreflectors.

If you find a bug in the code or an issue in the circuit, we would like to know it so please follow the next steps so we are aware of it:

1. Fork this repository
2. Create your feature branch: git checkout -b my-new-feature
3. Commit your changes: git commit -am "Hey Bilbao Dynamics, I've added something that you might like!"
4. Push to the branch: git push origin my-new-feature
5. Submit a pull request and we might add it to the project! 😉
