SpiderBot By Andrew [Requested page]

By request for more info on this bot, i soon got to work to find out more on the builder, but more importantly 'on the robot.

You wont find more info than this: :wink:

Thanks for that find. Seems to be a relatively expensive construction.

Although it does give one something to think about.

Hello. I am the creator of this robot. I am in the process of putting up a detailed rundown and build details of the robot on my blog at the moment.

Quick info:

8 MG996R servos, two in each leg
1000mAH 2 cell LiPoly battery, with a Turnigy 15V 6V regulator
Pololu 8 channel serial servo controller and XBee Pro radio for control
Some waterjet cut steel parts, but mostly hand-cut with a Dremel tool
Radially and up/down symmetric design, can walk in any direction and flip upside down
Transmitter is built from a Arduio, XBee radio, a few old joysticks and buttons, and plywood for the case

It’s mostly just a hobby entertainment project. The robot is basically a puppet, completely controlled by the operator. There’s no on-board intelligence in the robot itself, all servo mixing is done in the transmitter. It’s actually not at all expensive in terms of parts and materials, but very expensive in the time that’s been put into building and refining the design.

Looking forward to see the complete details… ;O)
