Chopstick II - An OddBot clone

Hi,

I started with a clone from OddBots Chopsticks spider robot.

I have used 8x12Kg servos and 16x6,2Kg Servos from TowerPro Servos

I also buyed the spider controller and the spider servo shield ( thank you OddBot)

To build up the frame i used also chopsticks and Polymorph Plastic and very important an keramic knife :-)


I started with building up the 8 legs with chopsticks and plastic

legs


 The next step was the spine to connect the four pairs of legs

 Next step is to building up the frame for holding the controller and battery. I am thinking about using a speech recognition (EasyVR - Voice Recognition Module) to give him a name.


 I have just finisched the frame :-) 

The next step is to buy the battery and setting up the basic electric circuit.

 


Hi,

i received all my parts during the last week. And built up the torso of the Bot.

I used a 5000mAH Zippy Li-Po Battery and the DEGU High Power Switch and several connectors and cables.


Hi :-)

Sorry for the quit time. At the moment i´m waiting for a power source to start programming the bot. So far i can only drive 8 Servos simultanous with my 2A Power Source. But with a assiting hand i can get him stand up :-)

 

  • Actuators / output devices: 24 Servos
  • Control method: autonomous
  • CPU: ATmega1280 MCU
  • Power source: 7, 4V 5000mAH Zippy Li-Po
  • Programming language: Arduino C
