Rocking Body Walking Robot Drone #5 by RobotHut

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

This a simple 3d printed walking robot that has a rocking body action. It uses a Tamia Universal gear box and 2 AA batteries for power. You can use a LED or small lamp for the light. This is a Pin walking design, meaning that a linkage is pushed down threw the feet in a concentric motion to make the robot walk. The feet are able to pivot side to side so the robot will have a stable foot on the ground but be able to walk. The Body tip action is controlled by two cams that push on "stops" in the main body part. There are 11 STL files but you print two of some of them like the legs, feet , cams and linkage units. The legs get glued to the Motor frame and two small cap parts get glued to the feet to hold the legs too the feet but still let them pivot. The battery holder is a 2 AA type and it gets glued into the main body part. The front and back are held on with screws. The Tamia Universal Gear box comes with mounting screws but it also comes with 2 types of drive shafts. The Hex drive shaft will be used for the walking and tipping cams, but the round shaft will be cut down and used as a pivot shaft for the Motor Frame unit. A shaky video will be posted to You tube for this build.https://youtu.be/jBNDiEFmKRs
