Creepybot 1.0

Recently I’ve been fascinated with robotics. More so than usual. Over the last few months I aquired enough gear and skills that I found myself worthy of attempting to build a robot. And not just any.. a 6 legged robot with 18 servos for the leg control.

 

 

 

Ingredients so far :

• Power
  • For the servos
    • 2 X  8-18v to 5-6 volt BEC
    • 2 X 5000 mAh 11.1v  lipo batteries
  • For the Arduino and LEDs
    • 1 X Voltage regulator 5->34 volt to 5v
    • 1 X 2200 mAh 7.4v lipo battery
  • 2x switch with  missile cover
• Motion
  • 18x Servos
  • 2x Renbotics servo controller
• Brains & control
  • 1x arduino uno or mega  linked to the renbotics servo controller
  • 1x bluetooth shield http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/bluetooth-shield-p-866.html?cPath=132_134
• Decoration
  • 2 rgb leds
  • 6 bright blue LEDs at the last joint of each leg
• Sensors
  • To be determined for now its a dumb platform for RC
• Framework
  • 2 x Makerbeam starter kits 
  • Polymorph

Right now this is what it looks like :
