Thank you all for your

Thank you all for your feedback! :slight_smile: I do really appreciate it!

@ignoblegnome: I hope too :slight_smile: She is away now with her mother visiting her granny, so I hope she will like it when she is back :)) In the worst case it was fun at least for me to build this robot :)))

@OddBot: These servo savers look like a good solution and are pretty cheap in general, so I think I will consider using them in my future projects involving servo abuse :))) Thanks!

@Dan M: Yeah, that was a dillema for me actually. Even though I marked this project as done, I still think of adding a vibro to the project, that is why at this point I decided to go with conventional output for LED eyes and spare PWM pin (which 18x has only one) for possible future vibro motor control. Anyway my daughter has to judge the robot first :slight_smile: And if she does not like it, I might go ahead and swap LED output with PWM pin. Thanks for your constant attention! You do have a lot of experience to share!

Awesome!

Isotope, this is a really cool configuration!  Kinda freaky how it moves, should be entertaining. 

Does the “skin” help prevent litle fingers getting pinched?

Thanks for mentioning this,

Thanks for mentioning this, I did try this now, and it is really hard to get pinched unless you do put your fingers in between sections intensionally and in proper places. And even though the force is nowhere near to be damaging. All I felt was little pressure, that was it. Anyway, this robot will be played with under constant control. :slight_smile:
