Hmm interesting. Wouldnt a cylinder actuator work the same way without having a air feed? As long as my leg and should have their own source of movment (servo) the actuator would work as a damper right? The actuator i saw was pretty cheap… like 10 bucks each. Just a thought
It’s just a piece of plastic used to create a 4-bar linkage. However, there is a spring in the leg which is nicely done.
You mean a small linear actuator? Something like the PQ12:

Curious what you found for $10 and if it has any force.
I was looking at some other switches and just went browsing and found this

not sure if its the same as the one you posted. Never used these
Hey guys im back after a long break. Gonna finish this thing up. Ive been working with gyroscopes and accelerometers for the last while so i will be implementing that into the bot. Expect to see updates soon.
Only question I had was where should i start programming? I want the bot to be controlled via controller, not autonomous for now.
Remind us what main controller you’re using, and are you using a separate servo controller?
As Coleman mentioned, it would help to know what your electronics and the like are. I believe one of your last posts from before mentioned you were going to order a Raspberry Pi…
If you are going down that way, I have the Phoenix code base running on it as well as some other Linux boards like BeagleBone black, Odroid U2/U3…
I keep my stuff up on github: github.com/KurtE/Raspberry_Pi
