This robot is so cool!  I have decided to build a slightly larger version out of Servo Erector Set brackets, plus some  custom SES brackets I am designing for the rocker arms.  How are you doing the rocker effect without having the controller and everything tip upside down? This is the part I have not figured out yet but am working on. I already have my rocker arm brackets mostly designed and assembled in 3D CAD, but need to figure out the pivot system.

how did you make the turning serrvos move so smooth?

Look: 


init:
b1 = 100
b0 = 225
b9 = 3
b10 = 3
b11 = 3
b12 = 3

servo 0,150 ‘ initialise servo
servo 1,150 ‘ initialise servo
servo 2,150 ‘ initialise servo
servo 3,150 ‘ initialise servo
servo 4,150 ‘ initialise servo
servo 5,150 ‘ initialise servo
servo 6,75 ‘ initialise servo
servo 7,75 ‘ initialise servo

servopos 4,150
servopos 5,150
servopos 6,75
servopos 7,75

main:
let b0 = b0 - b9
servopos 0,b0
servopos 1,b0
servopos 2,b0
servopos 3,b0
pause 50
if b0 < 75 then goto main1
goto main


main1:
let b0 = b0 + b9
servopos 0,b0
servopos 1,b0
servopos 2,b0
servopos 3,b0
pause 50
if b0 > 225 then goto main
goto main1

5 ***** for the concept and for the design  ;)

I wonder what you gonna do next :D

Thank you for your praise.

Perhaps I'll  write things on the pavement with chalk. I do not know, becouse I have a new idea - with "remote control".

Very impressive! I love how it handles. Any plans for adding sensors or do you consider it "done"?
ArunioSmo's picture
Unfortunately, I have no plans for sensors. I hope that I still try the writing "I LOVE LMR".

so you used 8 servos?

 

ArunioSmo's picture

Yes,

Ii used 8 servos. four servo move the wheels and four control the direction.
