Your hexapod Dmitri inspired me to build my own hexapod several years ago. I bought mx28 servos in late 2014 and designed most of the parts in solidworks. There was a hiatus of several years in between while i struggled getting a legitimate copy of solidworks. Now I have solidworks again and just have to finish off the tibia. I've based everything loosely off Dmitri going by eye from pictures and video and I must say, the tibia has been a real uphill battle. Just somehow cannot figure out a logical path to the correct shape. But it's the journey, not the destination!! So happy to see updates on this channel!
@@blegas78 what would you recommend for someone wanting to get into robotics for as cheap as humanly possible? I’m in high school and can’t afford something that’s super expensive. I understand basic stuff, I’ve built drones from scratch so I understand how to solder. Ik how to program too (you could prolly infer that by my pfp) and Ik how to work with arduino IDE, ROS2 (sorta), and I understand networking (Comptia certified and stuff) but I can’t afford expensive servos and bluebirds or other cheap servos for RC (leftovers I had from building a tricopter LR) just don’t cut it. I honestly don’t expect to ever go into a field in robotics or even IT just a hobbyist. My point is for someone who isn’t brain dead to this kind of stuff, but needs to keep the cost down what’s a good intermediate bot to get started with? Or would you suggest I stay away from it as a whole?
@@rdpenguin2710 Great questions! Well unfortunately a bot like in this video gets expensive almost no matter what. 18xservos even at $20/each gets beyond most budgets. In that case it depends on what your robotics focus will be. If you are interested in path finding, then a 2-wheeled skid-steer robot will suffice. If you want to learn inverse kinematics, then you could make a 6-axis robotic arm. Most importantly, do NOT stay away! It's a super rewarding experience when things finally work. Limitations of budget are only a constraint, and often I feel creativity can flourish when there are such constraints. So see what you can do with what you've got. Maybe you can make a hexapod walk with only 3 servos and interesting-yet-inexpensive linkage!
Hey bro, I can see from your name that you are Nigerian, I've been looking for a Nigerian into robotics I can work with. I've been building drones for a while and I now want to go into robotics.

That's amazing to hear! There are a lot of pieces that need come together so it can take a long time. The journey is definitely the best part :)

Nico looks like it needs a bigger tibia
I`m really amazed by your spider-bots but i`d like to know how did you interface the edison`s breakout board pins with the servo motors and camera

Are you going to try to make Nico lighter?
