This is a cool little project I'm doing as a gift to a guy who loves robots and rubber ducks. It just makes sense that the robot technology would take over the ducky like the Borg! There is 3d printing involved to make the legs and the ducky core is 3d printed as well. All the 3d print was done by my friend Anthony who is pretty awesome at the 3d printing. This uses a makerbot replicator 2. In the build you will see servo blanks which are just 3d printed substitutes so i dont get paint or epoxy on the real ones. I have been working on it so far three nights. I hope you enjoy the creative project. I will update throughout today with a couple.dozen build pics.
