Puppet Bob

This is Puppet Bob, a silly internet controlled biped robot based on BoB v1 by K120189.

I printed the orginal legs and feet files from BoB v1 at Artica, but cutted an custom PVC piece with the servos closer. The head was an half sized prototype of my Ping Pong Balls cannon.

How the main board is not on the robot, I used servo expasion cables which made it look like a marionette, hence the name.

You can control it live here:

I still need to find a way to minimize the falls so that he can be always on...

UPDATE: Just finished installing it at home. Added a servo to lift it in case he falls down, so now it should be able to be more time online. Click on the link above and try it for yourself :D

Here are some pictures:

The mess:

Have fun!
