Yes, that's what i was wondering 

But anyway, that's cool ( looks like he dances or smth like this when on two "feets", + nice accelerometer-dependant position adaptation)

[Private reid2]

hmmm...It's...Wonderful! 

You could make it look like a robot dog on it's side like that...

Now I got some better code (the first was really just made in one hour), and it can do it's first trick:

nice idea,

can be adapted to be a biped which turns into a quadraped .. cool stuff

I don't think it could walk as an biped anyway. It would need some joints to shift its body weight.

Anyway, this is really cool stuff. I don't know what it is though

[Rebelgium]

you should call it BiQuad or QuadBi
or whatever...

this is a beautiful robot! do you have any specs on the motors? what kind of wood is that? and how did you make the electronics?

nice work!

It is just standard (cheap) servos.
The wood is free sticks we get when we buy paint in Denmark; They are supposed to be used to stir the paint - and we can just wonder into any shop and grab a bunch.

It is this board:
http://194.201.138.187/epages/Store.storefront/?ObjectPath=/Shops/Store.TechSupplies/Products/AXE031
that is used, and that is all there is apart from batteries, servos and the sticks.
It can be programmed to control 21 servos straight out of the box, and is costs £27

thanks for the reply, exactly what I was looking for! and the servo controller...it works without connection to a pc?

[fritsl]

erh.. well.. There is a Picaxe chip on it. This is programmed easily in Basic on a PC. A cable is connected to it from the PC to export the code.. But then it is on it's own.

come one, we want more tricks!!


btw, very cool robot... congratulations
