If you are the original author, please access your User Control Panel and update it. So far all I have is this cardboard prototype. I chose to make it out of cardboard instead of making a CAD model cause I thought it would be FUN! :p Well it's pretty obvious what it is...it…

I like the cardboard looks! Don’t change a thing! This project is all done! :wink:

I say run some string up I say run some string up through the arm to various points and make it move :smiley:

Polymorph If don’t want to hotglue your servo to the cardboard, try out polymorph. It’s really easy to work with and reusable.

** You said "I chose to make** You said "I chose to make it out of cardboard instead of making a CAD model cause I thought it would be FUN! :p" That sentence alone is worth my top rating for this project. Daring to take a differnt approach and going for “fun” over “practical” i…

Yeah video makes a project Good one. I noticed you removed the push pins from the pivots. They are replaced by the servo on one side of the arm. Any plans for the other side, that you would like to share ? Also, you do realize that you posted your zipcode and phone number on th…

Yeah… Yeah I know I posted my info right there for the internet to see…however I was smart enough to sharpie out my street address. I’ll get that fix… As for the pivot, I’m not using them for this cardboard version, however, when I construct it out of HDPE I have a few choices…

Aruduino power… They’re getting there power from the Arduino. I don’t know the max current draw on the 5v power pin of the arduino…but it hasn’t been enough to reset. Those servos apparently draw about 150mA while operating unloaded so god only knows what’s going on…and so would…

The curse of the arm… When I was designing Walter’s head, I thought about an arm instead of the x,y,z I have now… Of course I was looking at the cool servo driven arms available in the 300 to 400 dollar range. It was then that I really found out about servo torque. And here is …

CRS …And C.R.S. means something different where I come from…
