HI! So i just finished my first robot and i wanted thanx for a great site with lots of info and inspiration! As this is my robot and i haven´t really been working that much with servos and programming before im sure there will be some things i could hade done better or in a better/simpler way so feel free to comment on things i´ve done wrong so i know for next build. I've taken a few pictures during the process of building and thought i would share them here!   So these are the materials ...


Arduinobased Quadroped

HI!

So i just finished my first robot and i wanted thanx for a great site with lots of info and inspiration!

As this is my robot and i haven´t really been working that much with servos and programming before im sure there will be some things i could hade done better or in a better/simpler way so feel free to comment on things i´ve done wrong so i know for next build. I've taken a few pictures during the process of building and thought i would share them here!

 

So these are the materials i used. Its some kind of compressed/glued wood. I don´t really know what its called but its lightweight, strong and flexible. There´s also my servos and arduino + mini breadboard. 

 

Here i have mounted the servos. I did kind of a rookie misstake and didn´t screw the servohorns in place the first time, and the legs kept falling off. Then i noticed the screws and felt like an idiot..

Now the Arduino, breadboard and wires all hooked up and working.

So here´s the finished robot. I mounted the two batteries on the bottom and got the sensor working with the 9:th servo. After some frustrating programming i got it all to work together so im really happy with this quadroped and i´m absolutely going to build more robots and upload them here.

Hope you liked this!
