Step 16There most intrepid step
If you are like me then you will find the greatest pleasure comes not just from building the robot but from taking it somewhere new. Some ideas:
- Put sensors so it can climb over things
- Add a pen to make it a CNC plotter. Add a CakeBot extruder to make a rapid prototyping machine. There's already some code to make the hexapod into a CNC router. I plan to do this to try and win the Gada prize.
- Build several and have them work together! The code already supports controlling multiple hexapods.
- Add a roll joint to the front two legs so that they can be used like hands.
- Decorate your hexapod
- Weatherproof/Waterproof your hexapod
- Find a way to put a single battery instead of two. Find lighter batteries!
These are just some of the things I would like to try. You may have other ideas.
The possibilities are vast and the future bright. If you make something, send me a picture or a video! I'd love to hear about it.
