Hi, Fellow robot builders, I am doing a series of videos showing my robots (ALTAIR EZ:1) current capabilities, here is the first.

There are incredibly few robots of this size - nicely done and feature-rich. Do you have a build log you can share?
No build log as such, but the robot has evolved over the last couple of years as I keep trying to improve/perfect things.
The EZ:1 recently met the Pepper robot while being filmed for a TV documentary - it was cool seeing these two robots together.
