One Servo Walker - Single Servo Robot by cevinius

This project is my attempt at creating a walking, steerable robot using a single servo. And... it works!! :D
MONTAGE!! - 'cause even Rocky had a montage! :Phttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThbiHAMHhRc
Video showing how he turns and walkshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRtXrHbw63I
His gait is a bit rough at the moment, so I need to do more work on the software, but he is able to walk and turn, so I'm going to keep working on this. :D
The design of this robot was based on and inspired by the one servo walking robot created by user "ercost60" on YouTube. See a video of his robot here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CaAq6gQbLY
(In some ways, the way this robot works is kind of like a motorised version of my Wobbly automaton!)
I'm still tinkering with my build. I want to add sensors to this robot, and perhaps also add bluetooth so that I can control him with an app (like in some of my other projects).
To build this, you need to print:
1 x FrontBody
2 x FrontLeg
1 x FrontGuard
1 x RearBody
I used an Arduino Micro as the controller, but you can use any controller. It is a single servo, so you may want to try controlling it without a microcontroller! :D
You can see details on how to assemble this here: http://www.cevinius.com/2015/10/19/one-servo-walker-update/
