Wifi video fully funtional, weapons mounted

I have this weekend to get him firing, walking faster/better, and turning. Also, need getup motions. Phew.

Guns are mounted, the extra weight of the head and weapons actually helped stabilize the gait! Totally dumb luck.

New Head Mounted

Giger v4 Walking Progress Part 2

A bit faster, no longer dragging the feet, still needs a lot of work!

Giger v4 Walking Progress Part 1

VERY rough work so far, only about 20ish minutes or so into it. This is the very first iteration but I wanted to show my progress as I hit certain milestones. More to come soon!

Progress on Giger v4

Complete ground up rebuild, hopefully my final one. Took a lot of what I've learned from Farrell Robotics as well as my trips to the competitions in Korea last year and this is the final result. This is a much more compact, lighter weight, and more efficient version. 4.7kg total weight standing at 44cm tall. Giger uses 14x EX-106+ and 8 RX-64.

Walking progress videos next!

Laziness is the mother of all invention

So we're kitting up 10 Hexapod kits at work, and I realized that would involve me individually programming 180 AX servos. Doing that would take far too much time and sanity using the Dynamixel Wizard on the PC, so I built up this little project to quickly program and test the servos with 2 button clicks.

Now that the holidays are over, I'm back into the swing of all things robotic. Expect some updates on Giger soon.
