Thomas Messerschmidt

Thomas Messerschmidt is a Maker who spends much time working in the area of robotics and artificial intelligence. Thomas is a friend and colleague from the Robotics Society of Southern California and the founder of the Riverside Robotics Society.

Thomas has worked with us on the first prototypes for the donation robot project, specifically, Versions 1 and 1.

Donation Robot Version 1

The Donation Robot Version 1 used the Hummingbird Bit expansion board for the Microbit. It was presented at the Makersville and Makersville Services STEAM Party and Micro Carnival.

Donation Robot Version 2

The Donation Robot Version 2 used the ELECFREAKS microbit Wukong Expansion Board Adapter for microbit instead of the Hummingbird Bit expansion board.

The Donation Robot Version 2 was supported in part by a grant from the Arts Council for Long Beach.
