Overview

The robotroller is a robot that can reliably move the CX40+ controller used to play Atari-2600 games. It can run for weeks without breaking. In our experience, the controller wears out before the robot.

It requires two types of components---ones that can be 3D printed and ones that need to be bought. We split them into two tabs: Printed parts and accessories. The printed parts can be printed at a home 3D printer or a commercial printer. We have tested versions printed in PLA on a Bambu Lab P1S and versions printed in Nylon 12 from a commercial 3D printer (JLCPCB) and found both to be reliable. For accessories, we provide direct links to suppliers in Canada and the US to make sourcing easy. Once you have all the parts, you can follow the build instructions to assemble the Robotroller. If you have any questions or need help with the build, then email kjaved@keenagi.com.
