May I ask you, why did you make the whole torso move up and down? It would have been easier to just make the weapons move up and down... When whole torso moves, it HAS to have an affect to its balance... Am I right? But very well done!
@BASS0090 It was mostly so that the camera would stay inline with the weapons which were mounted on the side. This was an older project, it's since evolved into my Giger project (see other videos on my channel) and I no longer have the battery in the upper torso, which was the primary cause of the balance shifting so much when tilting.
@AlterRobotics Thanks for the reply, i just checked out the gun and i see the similarities but out of curiousty the gun definitely looked bigger when bought, what kind of mods did you do to it, if you dont mind me asking :P
@cementblade It never did unfortunately, the hip stance was too wide for the strength of the servos + payload. I ended up rebuilding this project as a humanoid robot 'Giger".
Balance engine/IMU is not implemented at this point, so its just statically balancing. It can do a 2-step turn, its leg design and walking gait are much different than that of most humanoid robots you see out there today.
dude!! go outside!! get some sun light!!

Very impressive build. I am curious though about the hips - is it going to be able to do a 2-step turn?

What, you need a remote for it?! I'd just have an auto-targeting system that tracked servo heat, and accelerometers/gyros to keep targeting stable =P
