Wireless bluetooth arduino hexapod robot SPIDEE-1

SPIDEE-1 hexapod is now operating wirelessly thanks to 2 7.2V/2A battery packs and a BlueSmirf breakout board from Sparkfun.

Apologies for the bad framing - I can't drive and film at the same time. Oh, for a real camera and a tripod!

I want to make robots for a living. If you know anything about how to make that happen, please contact me.

how much money u use to create this robot?.. add me at facebook iszarie tedder

[aggrav8d]

@iszarieTedder there's a facebook group for spidee-1. The biggest cost is the servos. You can get a box of 20 metal geared servos for a good price if you hunt on eBay. Total cost nowadays? ~$500 + tools & software.

very nice. it seems to me you could make that more energy efficient if you added springs to supply the typical average static forces on each joint (apologies if you already have springs i can't see) ... this also leads to having larger mobile robots where the controller must take into account the system resonance to move efficiently. if you want to design robots you will need an engineering degree; ideally a robot course, but really you'll be able to work with robots from any engineering degree

@5naxalotl I guess the only way we'll know is if you try it and report back! :)

that's pretty badass. next step, centipede? lol

[aggrav8d]

@sosaj64 that could be done for sure. Budget is the only problem.

@Fr0stBlade that's what you get when you let the girlfriend name the robot.

@MrAgus333 It was that or Hall of the Mountain King. Flipped a coin.
