FlowBotics Studio V1.1 (CD)
FlowBotics Studio uses a combination of graphical and text based programming to allow for the easy creating of robotic code and
applications. Applications are programmed by linking together functional building blocks called components. Events and data then flow
between the links as the application executes. All this happens instantly - there's no compiling, your application runs as you build it making
development an extremely rapid process. FlowBotics Studio includes the full version of the popular FlowStone software. FlowBotics Studio
interacts directly with the SSC-32 servo controller via Bluetooth (no need for the BotBoarduino), offloading all of the higher level
mathematics to the computer. There is also a visual representation of each of the five sample robots making it easy t ocalibrate all the
servos and to create walking sequences. All the tools and tutorials are available to help you build upon these samples or create your own
from scratch. Currently the software accepts custom Ruby-based code. Unlike FlowStone, FlowBotics Studio cannot be used to create stand-
alone executable programs. Sample code is available for each of the five robots outlined below.
FlowBotics Uses modules which are joined together to create more complex system
AL5D Robotic Arm
The AL5D robotic arm delivers fast, accurate, and repeatable movement. The robot features:
base rotation, single plane shoulder, elbow, wrist motion, a functional gripper, and optional wrist
rotate. The AL5D robotic arm is an affordable system with a time tested rock solid design that
will last and last. Everything needed to assemble and operate the robot is included in the kit
and accessories such as a rotating wrist or vacuum gripper are sold separately. Sample
programs include PS2 control, as well as autonomous control (forward, backward, arm demo
etc).

SQ3 Symmetric Quadruped Robot
The SQ3 is a 3DoF per leg quadruped robot with a symmetric body design. The robot's
symmetry makes this a very unique quadruped walker. The three DOF (degree of freedom) leg
design provides the flexibility required to walk in any direction as well as body roll! The robot
uses eight HS-645MG servos along with four HS-422 servos. The SES kit includes everything
you need to make a functional robot. Sample programs include: PS2 control and autonomous
control; walking forward / backwards, sideways, rotate clockwise / counter-clockwise and
more.

MH2 Hexapod Robot
The MH2 hexapod robot is designed around a simple mechanical leg design with all metal
brackets. This leg design minimizes the number of parts required to make a two DOF (degree of
freedom) leg and allows this robot to be steered like a tank. Forward, reverse and in place
turning is supported. The robot uses standard sized Hitec servos for the legs. The combo kit
includes everything you need to make a functional robot. Sample programs include: PS2 control
and autonomous control; walking forward / backwards, sideways, rotate clockwise / counter-
clockwise and more.
