I’ve been drooling over everyone’s robots for a year or so now and have been wanting to make my own for some time. Unfortunately my girlfriend/family was under the impression that paying for rent was a more productive use of my money. (Crazy right?) So to make it “productive” I decided to take a graduate class in robotics. There was the small problem of never having touched a robot before, not being a graduate student, and not being an electrical engineering major but that’s not important right? Anyways here’s some pictures and links to videos of the final robots. I initially meant to only make the biped but got carried away and built the quad the weekend before final presentations. Even tho the class is over I would love to hear peoples opinions and suggestions as I’ll be continuing to work on the robots in the future.
