Chopstick II - An OddBot clone

Let's Make Robots Robots
1

Hi,

I started with a clone from OddBots Chopsticks spider robot.

I have used 8x12Kg servos and 16x6,2Kg Servos from TowerPro Servos

I also buyed the spider controller and the spider servo shield ( thank you OddBot)

To build up the frame i used also chopsticks and Polymorph Plastic and very important an keramic knife :-)

I started with building up the 8 legs with chopsticks and plastic

legs
legs2592×1936


 The next step was the spine to connect the four pairs of legs

spine1373×500

 

 Next step is to building up the frame for holding the controller and battery. I am thinking about using a speech recognition (EasyVR - Voice Recognition Module) to give him a name.

 I have just finisched the frame :-) 

The next step is to buy the battery and setting up the basic electric circuit.

 

Hi,

i received all my parts during the last week. And built up the torso of the Bot.

I used a 5000mAH Zippy Li-Po Battery and the DEGU High Power Switch and several connectors and cables.

Hi :-)

I am qualified…

…since I already have the Chinese lady :wink: So now i still need Chopstick.

I am really going to build one too since I fell in love with it from the first moment i saw it.

Great job basile, good luck by your project. But you know, once it’s done you have to take a flight to China and let the two brothers play together…this is also your chance to get the video with the Chinese lady done :wink:
