Tinplate6 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Another winner, John, you can put me down for one of these as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robothut Posted October 7, 2016 Author Share Posted October 7, 2016 OK here is a version with the batteries on board, covered by a very cool battery tank like cover. The print turned out better than the pictures show, just love it. short you tube of the robot walking with out a wire. I have one more idea I want to try out but have to wait for the parts to arrive.

MetalRobotHead Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 The backpack version looks superb, not sure, John, if you are accepting emails for one to be supplied, anyway please put my name down for the backpack type, or perhaps as you say there might be a third version to consider. Love that whirring noise, sound of a quality mechanism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Wonderful work John! Put me down for backpack version as well! I like my robots to be self contained, lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robothut Posted October 12, 2016 Author Share Posted October 12, 2016 No orders yet as I am still working on the third idea I had. It will be a fully contained radio control type robot. Fitting the micro circuits in to the head will be a challenge. Parts should arrive any day now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robothut Posted October 14, 2016 Author Share Posted October 14, 2016 Ok here is the radio controlled version of the Nando. you tube link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robothut Posted October 14, 2016 Author Share Posted October 14, 2016 Here are some shots showing the changes made to the body, back pack and head. Also the box. I added the face and ear features to the 3d printing files to make life easier. I had to add a channel to the body back so the motor wires could travel under the battery holder. I added a notch in the removeable back pack, and hollowed out the head. Made a new back of the head for the antenna mount and slots for the power and motor wires to pass threw. The radio control guts are from a micro RC car. The remote was quite large so I cut it down and made a new cover for the top. The two buttons on the remote both make the robot walk but the top one turns on the eye lights and the bottom one will turn on the red dome light as the robot walks.

robothut Posted October 14, 2016 Author Share Posted October 14, 2016 I should add that I did not put a ON / OFF switch on the robot. The space was very limited and I feel that batteries should always be removed when your not playing with a toy. ALL batteries can leak ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonydroid Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Hi John I love this remote control Nando version with the led eyes, he has this free move, he looks great, the RC black & white remote control is cute, great piece of engeniring! cheers Joao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
