Simple walker
This is a try-out of a FabLab-ready kit design for a 2-Servo walking robot. The design is inspired by the lynxmotion kits and the designs by david buckley. The goal for this project is to make all mechanical parts for the servo walker out of 1 A4 size sheet of plywood (or perspex, lexan, delrin, whatever).
Two RC servo’s are mounted in the appropriate holes, Battery space is left in the center of the body. Control will be done by the ottantotto (an arduino -like board which I designed two weeks ago, specialized in controlling RC servo’s (I am anxiously awaiting the delivery)
I started out with a cardboard prototype (not functional at this time, just to check all sizes):
After this I decided to make a protoype out of acrylic plate:
As soon as the design is tested and proven to work, I will post the design files here.
