are those brakets custom or are they from a store

 

The brackets are mostly the standard Bioloid brackets for the AX-12. The upright portion of the legs are Lynxmotion SES parts.

This bot is super creative but I'm wondering how you get the airsoft guns to fire?

The ArbotiX robocontroller used (available at Trossen Robotics) has motor drivers onboard which can handle the smaller tank guns. For larger guns, a larger transistor will work.

This is absolutely amazing. Seriously, I'm stunned at your ability to make this and I can't believe it only took 3 weeks. Super cool that it's armed with an airsoft pistol. If you're looking for sponsorship for your next event, let me know and I can hook you up with some equipment for your robot build.

wow, just wow! but isnt the camera a bit unprotected?

I've updated the pictures a bit, the old pics were before I had all the sheathing on.

How do you guys get gears and such stuff. Like the legs, etc. I can't find anything to mine robots.

Why not, for melee combat, have it sit on its 2 back legs, and hit the enemy with its front two. Or a flying tackle from off the ropes!
do you have any tips or book reccomendations for a begginer because i have just started to get into this and someday wnats to create a robot just like that.
