This is the first in a series of designs that you can build. All of my projects are open source, but most people don’t actually build things like the AT-AT you can ride on, or ball-wheeled bikes.
So it’s time for a series of smaller more accessible projects, and the first one is a fun robot dog, and it’s really easy to understand how it works. I’m using basic parts like an Arduino Uno and standard R/C servos, and this design is in two sizes, one using standard sized R/C servos and the other using the smaller 9g servos.
