Hi! Some of you have probably noticed that I’m working with a new multi-legged creature in my Phoenix thread lynxmotion.net/viewtopic.php?t=2743&start=195 . First, I must say that this project has been more of an experiment since I have choosed to try some cheaper servos. Of cou…

Fantastic pictures! Great job on the design! The blackend servo horns look sooo much better!

Hi! I’m finaly finished with the calibrating part. And I’ve just tested the real live scorpion gait. Here is a little (test) video: youtube.com/watch?v=Nsw0TQOtbYU I’ll post more information later. Have been busy lately (family stuff…)

Nothing sexier (except girls) than a robot designed by zenta :slight_smile: Lookin’ good. Shes being controlled by your spreadsheet algorithm gumbo mumbo stuff?

Holy crap. You’re a hexapod (octapod) building machine. Awesome robot man!!!

Now you just need to write a 6DOF leg biped IK engine and your ascension to godhood will be complete. :open_mouth:

or at least he should be able to get a publishing contract out of it. 8)

Hi zenta! I must say I’m very impressed with it, but I do think it needs some improvements : The legs are too short for the body, they should be made longer or at least make the body a bit smaller. I do love the design, especially the color you used for it. But I think you shou…

That is awesome! Now you need some claws and a stinger with a webcam to accompany that wicked gait… Very impressive.

Like I said, just my two cents. :wink:

Considering the weight and size of it, longer legs would likely not be possible with those servos. I think it’s perfect. Looks very proportional.
