Modular CyBot articulated robot toy

<p>Some time ago I played with the idea of developing an articulated, modular set of robot parts that could eventually be extended to create a variety of toys. However, about this time, Autodesk launched the Tinkerplay app which did this better than I ever could. Tinkerplay was eventually integrated into Tinkercad, so you can get all the TinkerPlay parts there if you want to build this sort of thing.</p><p>Still, it's an interesting part of my history, and finds it's way into a number of projects from the time, including the Cymon Bot.</p><p>CyBot prints without supports and assembles easily. To insure proper fit it is recommended to separate out the small ball and joint piece from the plate and print 2 of them, then see if they snap together easily. If they do not you should adjust your filament diameter setting. if they're too tight lower your filament diameter slightly, if they're too loose raise it slightly.</p><p>During assembly it is recommended to glue the should and hip joints into the hips and torso before attaching the rest of the parts.&nbsp;After connecting two parts the first time,&nbsp;hold them firmly and&nbsp;rotate&nbsp;them in their joint fully to rub down any burs.</p>
