Spiderbot

thingiverse

Halloween is rolling around, so I'm building a spiderbot to welcome trick-or-treaters! Keep in mind that this project is still evolving rapidly. The current prototype uses a 6-bar linkage system to mimic a natural walking motion. Two 12v geared motors power the entire setup by driving a single driver gear into two primary gears on either side assembly. Each side of the spiderbot operates independently, allowing for the use of a differential drive controlled by an RC receiver. The included zip file contains a test-fit STL file that demonstrates parts placement and provides insight into the design's evolution. A separate Fit Test-Quarter Assembly file shows exactly how to assemble each quarter of the spiderbot.
