K3lso Quadruped (Build thread)

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

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:

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

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 :grin:
