Introduction: Build a Mini-Walking Bot
Here's a simple project for sci-tech families. A Mini Walking Bot using a some ROBOTIX parts, PICXAXE microcontroller,and a Handy Cricket
Step 1: Building the Mini-Walking Bot. Here Are the Parts for Building the Bot
ROBOTIX parts for Mini Walking Robot (L) Elbow connectors, Wheel Foot(s), Arms (75mm), 2 Legged Walker, Drive Axle, and Low Speed Motor
Step 2: Attach the Drive Axle to the Low Speed Motor Shaft.
Attaching the Drive Axle to the Low Speed Motor
Step 3: Place the Low Speed Motor/Drive Axle on Top of the 2 Legged Walker
Attaching the Low Speed Motor/Drive Axle to the 2 Legged Walker
Step 4: Attach Elbow Connectors and Wheel Foots to (2) Arms
Building the Mini Walking Botâs Back Legs
Step 5: Attach the Left Leg Part to the 2 Legged Walker
Attaching the left leg part to the 2 Legged Walker
Step 6: Attach the Right Leg Part to the 2 Legged Walker
Attaching the right leg part to the 2 Legged Walker
Step 7: Hereâs the Final Assembled Mini-Walking Bot!
The completed Mini-Waking Bot!

Its a nice system for breadboarding projects. Check out my Synapse-Wireless web page for additional breadboarding projects. http://www.family-science.net/Synapse_Wireless.htm

I'm working a small video clip that I will post on TeacherTube (like You Tube but for educators). I should have it available next week.

how are we ment to make the arms and such
Reply 14 years ago on Introduction
This project was designed to study the gaits of a table top walking bot. An arm can easily be added to this bot using additional parts from the ROBOTIX construction kits.

can you make it without the ROBOTIX parts oh i forgot to say that is pretty rad

With the appropriate mechanical parts like gears and plastic fab pieces, its very possible to be such a walking bot from scratch. The ROBOTIX kit allows for quick prototying of bots.

Hey can you post a video of this in action? It looks to be great but a video is worth 36,000 words!
