Congratulations!!!
Well done. it seems a biped theme was taken on board there. Archer is by far the better one. Again congratulation. 
Thanks guys!
I didn’t expect this at all. I kinda felt that a “bioloid” based would win this contest.
Congratulations again!!! You deserve it.
I had a feeling you would win. After all they want to seduce you to the dark side 
Again congrats
Kurt
Thanks Kurt, but don’t worry about the “dark side”.
I’ve had a bioloid comp kit for about two years and the Arbotix board for about a year but have not had time to play with it… 
this is great work Zenta, hopefully i can get back to my ed 209 6dof but as usual Zenta my coding is crap he he i do rely on good ppl like yourself to share code:-) so hopefully i can get this beast up and running. i have been away from robotics for a year now so i need to do some catching up and find where i left off. great to see your work in progress Zenta
Hi everyone,
I know this is a somewhat old thread but I was hoping to get a bit of help from someone. I am currently working on a 6DOF biped controlled by an ARC32 and need some help.
Let me first explain my background: I am a Mechanical Engineering Technologist but electronics is my hobby. I know quite a bit about electronics but almost nothing about programming. I have my robot built and it can stand on its own with a basic program to bring all servos to centre. Beyond that I am lost.
I have looked at the code posted here (I would like to use a PS2 controller) but I’m not sure what to do with it. I have it all open in Basic Micro Studio but I can’t compile it. I am getting errors and sometimes the program just crashes.
I am hoping someone can point me towards some reading or something that sort of explains the basics of how to program the ARC32, because right now I’m feeling pretty lost.
Thanks in advance.
Attached is a picture of my SCOUT standing by for further programming.
Great masterpiece.
Never thought that this got to be this great after reading such an artwork.
And good luck on making this one such a great impact on the robotics world.
Hi All, great to see these bipeds.
I am trying a brat with ARC32 and trying to get the programs that are in the tutorials especially the auto walk. I got it to the point where the robot is making walking strides (I hold it in my hand - not yet on the floor!) but after the last Rest movement, all the servos go weird and don’t stop moving. I thought after one cycle of movements for auto walk, the robot should stop but it does not.
I have posted the code in the Basic Micro forum.
Reading through this thread I saw the above message!
There was some reference to HSERVO not liking a program end and a suggestion to put a loop (doing nothing) at the end of the program (main).
Another question - can I use the extras program here without actually building a robot with all the extra servos ? Right now what I have is the six servo brat. I do have the torso mounted with 5 servos but my arms build is on hold for now.
Any advice is welcome as I try to learn bipeds!
Thanks

Hey my name is john and I was wondering if any of you have used a product similar to Arduino has a shield that does mapping. I was wanting to have a mapping system with my scout, along with GPS sensor to draw maps so the robot “copies” the room like the Roomba say, on the arc-32.
The Roomba does not really do much mapping - the first “real” mapping robotic vacuum is the Neato.

This is only a 2D map of the room though. For full 3D, you might consider the new Capri 1.25:

If you want to do basic mapping using a legged robot, consider basic distance sensors.
The reply is a bit off-topic so you may want to start a new thread.
