Hi, So I am back after a busy period in my life!

Recently, I started a new project, Two Microspots.

So first Version is the smallest one and its using 12 x MX-28R

Motion test of first leg:

DS4 Motion test:

The bigger version is going to run 8 X MX-106R and 4 x MX-64R
The MX64-R is the knee joint. That is belt driven with gearing to match the MX-106R in RPM and torque.

Servos for bigger version:

Leg prototype for big version.

I think they would get along well together!

raess · July 6, 2020, 11:49am

Yeah I Think so too

raess · July 20, 2020, 10:29pm

Latest design on the bigger version! We are getting somewhere!

Started working on the robot arm. Since I need to know how it should mount etc… I will use MX-28 for the arm.

Very professional design and although I’m not talking much, be sure there are many people awaiting your updates, including myself.

raess · July 24, 2020, 10:00pm

Allright @cbenson !

Update:
So tonight I worked a bit more on the arm design.

I also tested the first joint. A very Quick print to look for improvments. I spotted some minor Changes.

raess · July 26, 2020, 12:31am

Some more progress on the arm:

raess · July 28, 2020, 10:38am

Third joint testing: just for fun

The click sound is stupid table mount

raess · July 31, 2020, 10:00pm

Some more progress on the arm:

I think I will swap second and third joints servos to bigger ones. For second joint, Changing the two mx-28 to two mx-106 and third joint changing the two Mx-28 to a single Mx-106. But only if I find a sweet deal on them

raess · August 1, 2020, 10:14pm
