I’ve been focusing on getting position and current sense data from the servos so that I can get it to traverse uneven terrain. An ongoing log of my progress, pictures and video can be found here: vizlog.com/robot

Very interesting update, even though half of what you said is jiberish to me. :laughing: Do you have a pic of the gumstix system installed on your hex? I would like to see how you have things setup.

The gumstix isn’t yet installed on the hex. I’ve got to work out some sort of a deck system as I went with the alum chassis.

Heh, I’ve had experience with those “really-commit-the-order-I-actually-want-you-to-send-it-to-me” buttons before. You’d think that you were launching a hellfire drone, what with all the double-checking some sites do. Next thing, you’ll need to turn two keys sycnronously. …

Sweetness. :astonished: Then I shall wait and follow our leader. :laughing: The larger motor Open Servos would be amazing, especially if Jim makes SES brackets just for them. That just opens up so many possibilities. Perhaps a child-sized biped… or a normal-sized biped wit…

That depends on which competition it is. Most competitions that I’ve heard of use the rules that can be found at www.robogames.org/

ugh… that was a lot of soldering. 18 OpenServo boards ready to go! [image] Now on to cables and connectors

Did you enjoy smelling all that flux? I bet you smelled flux for a few days afterwards huh? :laughing:

yea, I’m pretty sure I’ve got a low level lead poisioning too :unamused:
