We are teaching a new maker art class called ‘Robot World’, to help 4th and 5th graders create their own artistic robot. This after-school class is taking place in fall 2017 at the Lycée Français in Sausalito. Students are learning how to make their bots move in a variety of ways, as well as play sounds and light up, using a programmable Arduino board.
This photo set covers the first half of our 12-part course, when students get to build their robots. Each student received their own robot kit, which they learned to assemble, control and program. They first built a chassis, then wired up the electronics, assembled a remote control, then added a head and arms, with servo motors to make them move.
We then laser cut wooden figures and body parts based on their designs, which included a police bot, a swat bot, a devil bot and a chef bot. Once their bots are designed and assembled, they will learn how to program them and make them move in different ways, then decorate them, give them a story, and present a robot show to their friends and families in December.
For this course, my partner Edward Janne and I created our own robot kit, using an Arduino Feather M0 for the robot, an RF remote, a custom chassis, plus three additional servos and more parts. Our robot kit is similar to commercial products, but with a lot more features, at a lower cost. It was a lot of work, but we’re very happy with the final results, and our students seemed to really enjoy the class. We hope this will encourage other teachers, students and makers to create their own animated characters, for art and technology’s sake.

A pair of class 59's at Westbury not long after entering revenue earning service in 1986. The loco number plates are unpainted and the loco is yet to be named.
Unfortunately I have no further details for this image taken by my late father Douglas Tomes.

The standard ship of the line for the Jovian Federal Navy, the Recalcitrant is classed as a heavy frigate due to its lower tonnage-to-volume ratio. While it may seem odd for a galactic power to rely on a mere frigate for its military needs, the Recalcitrant is perfectly suited to the odd circumstances of the Federation's navy.
Mistrusted by the Federal Assembly ever since the mutinies of 2161, the naval branch of the Federation's armed forces has had its budget shrink exponentially year by year, and its members subjected to ever stricter regulations. This led to a growing alienation between naval personnel and the average Jovian citizen, who mostly saw sailors as little more than unstrustworthy space-scum. The sailors, meanwhile, were frustrated by the lack of support from the population, who they perceived as lazy hedonists.
The situation deteriorated to such a nadir by 2207 that the Board of Admirals delivered an ultimatum to the Assembly; either fund the Navy or allow the sailors and their families to secede. After an initial panick, during which at least two admirals and several subordinates were hanged, the Assembly quickly realized their position was untenable. They could not leave themselves defenceless, but neither could they bring themselves to fund a navy they so feared.
A compromise was reached. The Navy would not get increased funds, but would hereby be given a level of official autonomy distancing it from government oversight. While satisfying the politicians' desire to keep the Navy weak and underfunded, this would allow the Navy to seek its own means of funding itself. The severing of official ties between naval leadership and governmental bodies was also hoped to shield the Jovian government from any legal or political repercussions by the actions of the Fleet, while also at least partly satisfying the growing calls for independence within this same. It was a masterstroke of inter-governmental diplomacy.
Enter the Recalcitrant frigate. Unable to afford a fleet of cruisers, the Federation commissioned a large number of these frigates from various shipyards around the galaxy. Corranian Dockyards, Forger Industries, and Venus Naval Works are the primary contract holders.
Built as a blockade runner, the Recalcitrant is fast, well armoured and lightly armed. The Federal Navy uses it to run supplies to those who have need of third-party runners, and who can pay, of course. Designed to be modular, the ion-nuclear engines are easily serviced and upgraded thanks to their seperate nacelle placements. This ease of maintenance and constant engine updates has kept the Recalcitrant relevant despite its age.
The FSS Liberté (FH-87) famously brought the equipment for a planetary shield through the blockade around Alta VII. The FSS Citoyen (FH-125) is well known for its spice smuggling runs along the Cuban Nexus. Even the FSS Mitraille (FH-23) has gained renown for its delivery of critically needed medical supplies to Klendathu Prime in 2287 and its succor of the space station Heaven's Rim in the Charlemagne sector.
The Recalcitrant's feats of arms are also impressive. When the RTS Calvin (CL-188) and the RTS Hobbes (CL-189) were ambushed by an ISA task force, it was the FSS Confrère (FH-16) which bought them enough time to escape. In the process, it was credited with inflicting severe damage to the ISAS Right of Way (C-1253), which spent several months in a repair yard.
The Recalcitrant is an excellent example of doing much with little, and has gained the Federal Navy a reputation for efficiency and efficacity out of all proportion to its size.
