quadruped > awaiting rebuild :)
What does it do?
navigated around ultrasonic
My first attempt to build and run a quadruped. Parts of laser cut acrylic. Powered with an arduino uno and sensorshield. Total of 12 micro- servo's, partially metal geared. It proved very difficult to align the servo's right. It walked, it turned. But was abandoned after I blew up most of the servo's by feeding them 7,4 Volts instead of 5 :P
Anyway, it's pretty much a copy of this one: http://letsmakerobots.com/node/34412
I had to use 3mm acrylic, because the lasercut firm had no 4 mm available.
