18 Servo High Speed Snake Robot Powered by Arduino Mega

Hi All,

I wanted to share the results of a project built with hardware from the RobotShop, a high speed snake robot:

R2G2: Robot with Rectilinear Gait for Ground Operations

youtu.be/t4oQos_LYyc

This robot uses exaggerated rectilinear gait to move through cluttered spaces. The new gait enables it to overcome limitations of slow speeds associated with the body undulation based locomotion.

It is composed of:

Arduino Mega Microcontroller
10 Hitec HS-7940TH Servomotors
8 Hitec HS-7950TH Servomotors

Thanks,

James

Yes, here is a picture without the skin

Any chance of seeing the mechanical structure?
