I want to embark on a new robotics project. I just finished programming the quadraped (it’s the older 2dof version that I bought 5-6 years ago but was too hard for me at the time) and I want to move on to learn other stuff.
I’m a mech eng. student at ryerson university (so in case I need access to machinery) but I have never built my own robot. Can someone give me some advice. As to how to effectively start a project?
I want to build a robot very similar (probably identical actually) to the Rhex.
(I can’t post websites so pls type in rhex on youtube if you want to see a video)
This is very preliminary and I see myself spending (if needed) up to 1.5k… but I hope it’s not that much. I’m thinking of using the Oopic microcrontoller to learn C…
BTW I do want this to be autonomous at some point in the project life. So it might have to be a bit bigger (like a 1/8 scale rc car?)
