I was studying robotics before events derailed my life.
That was 15+ years ago.
I feel I can start again.
Your project is very inspiring.
Thank you

Very cool

[@mumblerat2190]

damn this is so cool!

[@jamesgilmour7984]

not bad very interesting

[@burzykow]

Good luck i want to make this too

[@jamesgilmour7984]

i wonder how you would go about optimizing the design to maximize strength and minimize weight. i always worry about how i can reduce stress of the servo joints

[@DanMakesThings]

I can't find my notes about this anymore, but I calculated the max length that the leg sections could be before hitting the stall torque of the servos and then made them significantly shorter than that. So it means they can comfortably carry the weight of the robot plus a battery and have power to spare.
If all else fails there's always manual testing to fall back on 😂 instagram.com/reel/CSj9Sldjr2d/

[@gunplafighter1877]

I’m curious if there’s a trick to scale the servo joint

[@DanMakesThings]

Not something I've tried but it should be simple enough to scale the hole for the servo

Interesting project! Curious to follow this, so you have another subscriber. Nice to see another builder sharing his work. Feel free to check out my projects on my channel as well
