Gaming Robot

Recently got some X Axis anchors figured out on my bot. Check out the progess.

As I recently learned how to build a balancing robot, it seemed only fitting to update this robot.

I like how the rib cage is looking, but I wanted to improve how the lower rib cage looked. In this video I show the polycarbonate pieces I put in for the lowest 4 ribs.

The legs on my quad are a shot in the dark. In this video I explain what I'm trying to get. I also show some updates.

The upper segments need more thought, but for now I'm taking them out. In this video I show the updates.

Finally got the upper segments moving. Needs some work. Pretty cool milestone.

I'm in love with the new arm shape. For now, I adapted the old arm to the new arm design. I would like to get the plate on the outside of the upper arm into a single piece, but it does look kinda cool the way it is. When I move it around, it feels and looks great.

I ended up moving the z axis pivot closer to the body, and I figured out how I want to adjust the belt tension.

I knew actuating the arm in the order XZE had limitations. For fun I did a brute force test in Unity and found that it was much worse than I realized. So I decided to push the Z axis first. Actually I don't know why I didn't do it this way sooner. It actually comes out really good. In the video I try to give a detailed explanation of the the ZXE arms.
