I think I might build a new robot

by | Aug 26, 2014 | Design

The one I borrowed from Grabcad is pretty good but it’s not really ideal, it’s quite limited in it’s movement range and contorting it into the desired pose is occasionally quite frustrating. Of course you only need to build half a robot since you can...

Too much?

I added some more yaw motors but then realised that this would mean 8 motors controlling yaw but only 4 for pitch and 4 for roll…. Oh well, work in progress etc etc… it does start to look a bit much though don’t you think? Still, no one will see it...

Keep it Simple?

It doesn’t quite look it does it? :p However it’s always better to add options and mounting points before you simplify since it’s so easy to remove them afterwards. Try to think of all the possibilities so you’re able to add on more motors...
