Hexapod Robot CNC Router

[TurkishRapMusic]

is it possible to built this by myself? do u have project detailts to share?

[SOBRVIVIENTE]

awesome its verry nice this work

[B3NJ1x1978]

im scared :(

[maxderheld]

omg... omg... .. amazing!.

[madfastmax]

awesome work! That robot could be so helpfull around the shop. Do yu sell this?

[krap101]

One person thinks they can do this themselves :P

[Bossik0804]

jojo v pohodě

[nachoria]

that is so f'ing cool!!

[amoscowguy]

the way it choose points to draw is strange? Not like a man )))

[ace2a66d20]

why don't you tape down the paper and mount the pen more securely, you could get much beter resolution.

[Freccia7490]

Amazing!!! which servo you use?

[iykist]

Winchymatt, man you are on another level, have you tried using one as a tattoo artist it should do the job much quicker

[LocustaVampa]

This robot is an artist!

[BoredChick]

@ 2:06 I was thinking "Pokeball"

[GabberGeorg]

@BoredChick Yep, me too. Even though I never liked Pokemon...

[sixstringsmark]

Very awesome!!

[icebluscorpion]

WOW! The Hexapod can drawing his own parts! impressive! it can repear it self. Amaizing! Good job!

[Guiche50]

TREMENDOOO!!!....VERY NICE!!!!

[WMaxx91]

Very impressive!

[krap101]

Is there a problem with it moving the paper?

[JohnWestMinor]

@krap101

If the paper were taped down it wouldn't be a problem at all.

[FatihSultann]

WOW :-)

[XxYaNnIkWxX]

Wie Geil ^^

[NitroBlastSnorter]

Search "Laser cutting balsa" maybe you could use a high wattage green laser with an external power supply and use your hexapod to guide it as it cuts out cardboard or balsa or whatever. This would be simpler than a router as you wouldn't have to worry about depth...

[Aronath48]

tape the page

[flyacf]

That is very cool!

[electrik77]

Very Good!!!!!!! Cool

[Raevynschylde]

I am always in awe of these clips, because the end creation (the hexapod) is such a fascinating construct to watch. I can't imagine what's involved in creating something like it. Kudos to you, winchymatt. I loved the video--5 stars.

[ggrizzle]

wow very cool

[coolmandayCMD]

I'd be afriad it would try to stab me in the night.

[Jovains]

Perfect circle..!!

[KilledCookie]

It's the new VandalBot! just choose a a number of places to visit, load the images, and voila, instant vandalism! I'm Billy Mays, this is the VandalBot!

[NardolTheElf]

As a machinist I have serious doubts that the platform is capable of the rigidity necessary to actually route anything.

[12dart12]

thats so cool. i want one. whatever next a robot that can make tea

[kukooart]

can it make tea?

[kukooart]

can it mke tea?

[KHooves]

I like that it draws a piece of its leg at the end, implying it could make its own parts.

[TheIcemanModdeler]

HAHAHA! Amaizing!

[winchymatt]

I built this one as a one-off piece, but you could modify a kit like the MSR-H01 which is also one of mine. However, the MSR-H01 hexapod would not be strong enough to take the router attachment, but the pen should be possible.

[pitot1988]

Where can you buy one of this? Did you build it yourself? That is cool

[pitot1988]

Why when you are using the pen, the motor is still on? Can you turn it off?

[winchymatt]

The motor noise you can hear are the leg servo motors.

[pitot1988]

Is it remote control or computer programed?

[winchymatt]

It has an on-board computer (p.Brain) controlling body locomotion, with a remote computer sending X,Y,Z translation commands over bluetooth.

[bilox2000]

fake

[ariekabaalstra]

if it had suctioncups on its feet, and a spraypaint can for a head, it could climb walls, and make grafitti.. ;)

i like these sort of things..

[harrynicholas]

It can't draw to save it's life, but at least this one seems to be able to walk.

[reallygonecat]

I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords and would like to remind them that I can be useful pointing out subversive humans for elimination.

[redlinebuzz]

Amazing !!!

[newtechironop]

cnc routers are just rise of the machines

[soupisgoodfood42]

Is that loud buzzing noise all the digital servos?

[Bluezero75]

that thing is so awesome, it just felt humane of some kind. cute thing

[basketci90]

just unbelieveable

[josemtzmx]

this is a good work of desing

[CampKohler]

Watching plotting is ever so much cooler than seeing a piece of paper slide out of a printer, even if the graphics might not be as perfect. I saw the paper move as it walked away. How do you make sure it knows where it is on the paper (or in the case of a router, the part)? If it's feet are "sticky" enough and if it knew how to, it could grab the paper and the underlying surface and control the relationship between the two since it has lots of legs.

[winchymatt]

Hi, teh hexapod doesn't know where it is on the paper, it just assumes once it is stood on it, the paper won't move.

[ReardenMetal1]

Awesome work. And yes, please give it a laser.

[palmisano]

nice! . . . and the loud hum of the digital servos sounds like power lifetime is a bit low, no?

[winchymatt]

Power consumption isn't too bad, digital servos just tend to be noisy! I'm running the hexapod from a 4.8V 7500mAh NmHi pack.

[palmisano]

Just out of curiousity, what is the voltage drop on the battery when the servos are running? My 6V 4200mAh NiMH drops to 5.5V when draining only 2A . . . But the manufacturer claims it can do 35A - I don't believe!

[winchymatt]

Are you measuring the voltage drop at the battery or the servo? You shouldn't get any drop by the battery, or at least very little!

[palmisano]

At the battery. I'm really thinking its a badly manufactured battery, because I've never seen a voltage drop like this before either!

[winchymatt]

I would agree, sounds like you may have a bad cell, or dry joint.

[bigdavegunsmith]

Very very cool. Honestly though, you've made something that looks so sweet... it needs to do something other than draw. Give it a freakin laser for gods sake.

[tcphelps01]

Wow, very impressive -- it must've been a lot of fun coming up with a translation from line drawing to leg movements!

[carbons4]

My hats Off! Very impressive. far more complex than simple xyz axis movements!

[harpo10]

I was full of myself after retro fitting a harbor freight mill to cnc. Now I just feel retarded.

[hijinxcomics]

Great work, but you do realize you're just playing into Ultron's hands with this one don't you? Self-replicating robots just seem like a bad idea!

[winchymatt]

Damn... Rumbled!

[JRproducts]

Very cool. Creative use for you hexapod!
