Society of Robots - Robot Forum

At least I got a discussion going here.   We wanted to put together something a little more integrated than an Arduino.  It is true that the toolchain is not as straightforward as Arduino, but we hope that our libraries can overcome some of the startup difficulty.

The cheapest possible mech is likely going to run about $1,000. That's counting 10 DOF (two for each leg, two for aiming gun/camera.) Using Arbotix Commander and a WiFi webcam, a cut-down Defender airsoft gun, laser cut plastics body and stock AX12 servos/brackets. There is no "kit" to do this; at least not yet (I know someone over at Trossen Robotics is working on one!)
Trossen also has a quadroped kit with 3DOF per leg; with all the pieces for moving and control, but no camera/gun/aiming, it runs around $950 IIRC. Add camera/guns/turret to that.

Anyway , I finally solved the problem . I guess I just missed the Rebuild All command in the Instructions .

All I gotta do is glue the potheads using a liquid superglue . The Gooey superglue that I used before is crap , those little scrolls are so sensitive it's freaky . . . I had to unsolder the circuit and have take them out completely to avoid having to open it up all the time. They move about 0.02 degrees out of position by themselves if you just wait about 8-12 hours .

THANK YOU ADMIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I got honorable mention at science fair and it didnt even work! Thanks for all your help.

I am about to start building my second robot
the first one was the 50$ robot but out of acrylic
now i want to build a remote controlled four motor stair climbing robot similar to http://letsmakerobots.com/files/field_primary_image/Stair_Climber_Mk2.jpg?
making the body will not be a problem
my doubts are
1)which microprocessor should i use?
2)which motor to buy?
3)how much coding will be needed?
4)how to wire the whole thing? (if you could upload a schematic)
i know this is asking a lot but i really want this robot to be amazing
