- Page 1 Button Bot (oxypode bottonem) Assembly Instructions and Parts List...
- Page 2 Button Bots were first sighted after the great arcade factory escape of ‘86. Their continued survival in the wild has baffled robot experts. With literally only half-a-mind, a Button Bot is dependent on its buttons for sustenance. Button Bots are fed directly through arcade button presses. Once fed, the button brain wakes up for few moments of scrambled output.
- Page 3 Button Bot Hardware & Parts...
- Page 4 Very few tools are needed to assemble your own Button Bot. Here are the essentials. Soldering iron (not pictured) M3 allen wrench, m3 nuts (hex is mandatory, square is optional), and an assortment of m3 bolts in various lengths. M3 x 40mm to m3 x 16mm are used in this project.

- Page 10 Using wire cutters, clip off the support columns and mouse ears (shown in red) printed with the part. Repeat this step for all four head pieces. Adam Fontenault and Todd Blatt - Makerbot Studio - Spring 2012...
- Page 11 Use 8 m3 x 16mm bolts and 8 m3 hex nuts to secure the head pieces together. (screw holes shown in red) A hex wrench will fit through the small holes in the head to help you in tightening the bolts. Adam Fontenault and Todd Blatt - Makerbot Studio - Spring 2012...
- Page 12 The center button’s clip should be oriented so it fits between two of the outside button’s clips. Refer to the wiring schematic in the appendix for connecting the buttons. Adam Fontenault and Todd Blatt - Makerbot Studio - Spring 2012...
- Page 13 A set screw may be used to hold the wheels onto the shafts. For better wheel traction, a coat of Plasti-Dip will do the trick. A few spare “Live Strong” bracelets will work as well. Adam Fontenault and Todd Blatt - Makerbot Studio - Spring 2012...
- Page 14 Using m3 bolts and nuts, secure the gearbox assembly to the base making sure the motors are facing towards the front of ButtonBot. Adam Fontenault and Todd Blatt - Makerbot Studio - Spring 2012...
- Page 15 Just like the last step, secure the Arduino to the base using m3 bolts and nuts. Now would be a good time to upload ButtonBot’s code to the arduino. Adam Fontenault and Todd Blatt - Makerbot Studio - Spring 2012...
- Page 16 For the bottom hole, use an m3 x 16mm bolt and an m3 nut to secure facebackleft to facebackright. The top hole will be used later in Step 12 to attach the face assembly to the head assembly. Adam Fontenault and Todd Blatt - Makerbot Studio - Spring 2012...
- Page 17 Using m3 x16mm bolts, m3 nuts, and the printed eartop and earbottom pieces, attach the front face assembly to the back face assembly. Do this on both the right and left side of your ButtonBot. Adam Fontenault and Todd Blatt - Makerbot Studio - Spring 2012...
- Page 18 Use m3 x16mm bolts to attach both the eyesockets, eyebrowleft, and eyebrowright. (Picture only shows bolt holes for the right side) Adam Fontenault and Todd Blatt - Makerbot Studio - Spring 2012...
- Page 19 Insert 2 pieces of filament into the pupil. Next, push the pupil with connected filament into the eye socket making sure the filament threads through the holes in the eye socket. Repeat for the other eye. Adam Fontenault and Todd Blatt - Makerbot Studio - Spring 2012...
