Great Project! by OpenSourceClassroom

I fused a lot of the parts together and added structural girth to remove the flimsiness and allow for more rigid movements. The new parts that are fused together will need to be scaled down in your slicing program to 1% of their original size. I also translated assembly instructions. I also created a manual control panel with 8 potentiometers, one for each servo. There are 4 push buttons: 2 of them are teaching the robot to learn and perform tasks. The other are for what ever you want to program. I used a 20 conductor ribbon cable to connect the pots and buttons to an Arduino Mega clone (about 35$) because it has enough analog inputs to manually control each servo. Then separate power wires to the power switch. I used an additional 10A 5V power supply to power the motors.
