Brian.. Posted December 19, 2017 Author Share Posted December 19, 2017 Great to see the interest, chaps. I know this robot has been the subject of a detailed build before, but some of you may find my suck-it-an-see approach interesting. After a day of hair-tearing I finally found a place for the batteries in his butt. The lower position will help with stability. I hope to test the walk quality on Thursday after 48 hours of printing.

robothut Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 How did the butt walk test test go ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian.. Posted December 22, 2017 Author Share Posted December 22, 2017 Walking fine, John. I ran the first test with small feet and the balance was rock solid. It won't win any prizes for speed, but it will have the distance record. I see that the original German designers must have encountered balance problems because they have given Roboter relatively big feet. They also gave the feet a wedge shape that may have addressed the issue. I still have a huge 10mm to play with, so I'm happy with progress. I'm just putting the final touches to the first build and should have some images/video tomorrow. I need to thin down the structure because, as the bard said, it's built like a brick sh**house. It eats plastic so I'll need to spend some time making it it literally half the weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kirk Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Is that green picture part of the computer design? Is that how those look? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian.. Posted December 22, 2017 Author Share Posted December 22, 2017 Yes, David. That's a screenshot of the design software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian.. Posted December 23, 2017 Author Share Posted December 23, 2017 Here's the prototype. It needs some refinement. The feet are far too short but they let me test him. I'll also disguise the battery cover much better and improve the head seam. The lines on either side of the face are tricks of the light. (click images to enlarge them) Yes, I'm very pleased with the result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
