Human-Controlled Robotic Quadruped for Educational Environments Remixed from TheCase Mini Quadruped Optimized for 9G Servos This robotic quadruped is designed to work seamlessly in educational electronics environments. It's a remixed version of @TheCase Mini Quadruped, expertly optimized for use with 9G servos. Each component of the robot is meticulously designed to be 3D-printer-friendly, utilizing "micro servo 9g" specifically crafted to integrate perfectly with affordable servos like TowerPro. However, users have the flexibility to adjust the dimensions as needed to suit their requirements. A few key modifications enhance the overall design: - Solid Chassis - Enhanced base for batteries and Arduino circuitry - Side opening for effortless mounting of the servo - Reinforced restrain for the servo horn - Altered tolerances to minimize post-processing efforts - Added bases in the legs, incorporating self-adhesive rubber buttons to boost grip The robot is carefully designed to be controlled using Scratch on an Arduino platform, with all source codes readily available on GitHub at https://github.com/tallerinventores/educational-robot-quadruped. To assemble this innovative quadruped: 1. Print (8x servo_button; 8x shoulder; 4x leg; 1x tray; 1x arduino_base; 1x chassis). 2. Secure the four servos to the chassis using two servo screws. 3. Attach a servo on each leg using two servo screws. 4. Fasten pairs of shoulders together with two M3x6 screws (recommended: do not use washers, only a nut per screw). 5. For each shoulder: place the servo horn and servo button inside the shoulder. Then fit the servo onto the shoulder and secure the servo horn to the servo using servo screws. Ensure the servo is properly aligned and can move through its full range. 6. Press the tray against the chassis until it clicks into place. 7. Secure the Arduino base onto the tray using two M3x35 screws (recommended: do not use washers, only a nut per screw). Position the battery holder between the tray and the Arduino base. 8. Mount the Arduino up onto the Arduino base using four M3x10 screws (recommended: do not use washers, only a nut per screw). 9. Once assembled, program and enjoy your new robotic quadruped!
