Turn your MBot 2 into a balloon battle warrior! This project was created for a kids' workshop where the goal is simple and fun: pop your opponent's balloon while protecting your own. These two 3D-printed mounts make it easy to gear up for the game.
Included Mounts:
- Balloon Mount (Back of MBot 2):
This mount screws onto the back of the MBot and securely holds a balloon without the need for any screws or clips. It uses a simple V-shaped slot with locking tabs to pinch the balloon in place. Swapping balloons is super quick, perfect for fast-paced matches or workshops with lots of kids. - Needle Mount (Front of MBot 2):
The needle mount stacks in front of the MBot’s ultrasonic sensor using the existing two screws. You remove the screws, place the mount over the sensor, and screw everything back in, easy and secure. It’s designed for a specific type of sewing needle (included in a random sewing kit I had laying around), but if you're using a different needle, feel free to comment or dm me and I’ll try to adjust the design to fit.
The mount features a swinging tab that locks the needle in place during use and allows for safe removal when storing.
⚠️ Disclaimer:
The needle is sharp and should only be used in a controlled environment under supervision. This accessory is intended solely for safe, playful battles during workshops or friendly games. Never leave children unsupervised while using the needle mount.
