So at the beginning of the year a bunch of us at Nashua Robot Builders brought in some stuff to swap. Noah had this 6 legged robot base that he’d pulled out of the local robot recycling area (the dump).
I looked at it and though “Hey I can probably slap something together”. So I added a small system using Adafruits feather board comports and a Max Sonar. Took about 2 weeks to get all the parts and about three hours of assembly.
Not bad for a Saturday afternoons worth of work.
