Get your Beam Robot parts from Dead Electronics


You have to stock up parts such as Motors, Resistors, ICs, Capacitors to use later to build your dream robot. You can either get the parts from dead electronics or you can shop around and buy what you need at your local electronic shop. But it would be fun if you can extract most of your parts from dead electronic such as dead tape recorder, VCR player, Walkman, Mini Tape recorder, CD player, DVD Player and so on. Keep an eye oh these items other people may consider trash. Listed below are some of the things that worth watching for:

a) Tape recorders such as walkman, Mini tape recorders, CD players, DVD players, Computer Mouse, Portable Cassette Player, Car’s tape players: You can scavenge items such as Motors(big and small), gears ratio, belts, Pulleys, Pinch Rollers, Springs, Switches, Toggle Switches, couple of wires, LED lights and a few Battery, Light Detectos, compartment ( AA type battery).


b) Pagers (Vibrate Type), Mobile phones, Electronic Devices with Vibration Options: This is where the small Vibrate motor comes from. The vibration effects comes from a tiny motor spins an eccentric weight (attached to it spindle). These motors are normally used to build Mobile BEAM critters.


c) Spoilt laser printer Cartridges: You can extract quality Metal rods and plastic sheets.


d) Mechanisms that move slowly: This indicates that there are mechanical parts such as gear head motors (gear motor) presence. Gear motor turn slowly depending on the ratio of the gear box. The gear ratio provides the torque necessary to move, turn or lift load. It basically gives the motor a additional strength.


Therefore keep an eye of those dead electronic people throw away in their trash bin.
