Thanks Alan,
yes, it is real balsa. Before, I did an abs prototype with many pieces (42mm height) but it was too heavy
Making the abdomen was a bit tricky… Hopefully the balsa will do the job after some white painting?
I keep this version, thanks Zenta,
Color is planned
I think I have found to rotate around the head and abdomen with bodyik and balanceoneleg function
headtracking mode maybe added headposX,Y,Z to calculate matrix 
Make a vacuum forming machine. 
Don’t tempt me. 
Ah, but that’s, that’s, PLASTIC!
I know, we could mill it out of billet 6160-T6 aluminum!
Hmm, might be a little heavy…

Rotate mode works.
I did a sub function with conditional jump.
3 keys to switch between rotation around center of body, rotation around the neck and abdomen
That sounds like a good idea. 
I can’t wait to see the video of your A-pod with the molding and doing those head rotation.
I made some test yesterday with the code. It’s in progress. I have 2 Ubec and lipo battery but I’m afraid about the LiPo
6v 2.5A is a little low for the weight of the ant.
Also, I’m working on a “puppy”
Your affraid about what on liPo side ?
explosion and other. a short circuit is easy. I bought bag to charge it
abdomen last version
Yes… be carefull with shortcircuit.
Check you batteries for discharge. Do you have a cutoff on the BEC ?
it’s 2x TURNIGY 8-15A UBEC
I don’t think.
I added to the code the checkbattery function for lipo
a preview of the next project:
Did your 'bot crash? ;>)
Alan KM6VV
After physiotherapy all is ok
That looks better!

the two parts of abdomen.
I’m doing some search on this forum to connect lipo on botbard for checklevelbattery function. I don’t know if I can connect directly 7.4v(4:1 divider) to analog 1.
forumula is Vin/5*1024=Vad…
I need 2 cables to convert JST to Dean. I found some of these cable on ebay.
the programming is done but the ant need help with its weight
Hey there, I have been following this very closely ever since I saw Zenta’s A-Pod (and its kit progress as well, gotta love the A-Pods )
Just wondering if you have done further work on this? Would be awesome to see it move about. I’m also digging the white DIY remote. Ahh one day…
Thanks
