Mini ROFI

This is a 1/3 scale model of the bipedal robot ROFI, packed with every part ROFI boasts. However, its electronics and servos are all printed, meaning it won't be taking any steps on its own without a healthy dose of imagination. I built this model initially because I recently got my hands on a Replicator 2 and wanted to test its capabilities firsthand. Once the model was printed and sitting on my desk, two things became apparent: Working at 1/3 scale would be an incredibly valuable tool for prototyping future robots. The speed and affordability of this process - just three hours to print and $2 in parts - make it a perfect "gateway" to introduce more people to building robots. After all, I never thought I could build robots until I downloaded the parts and built a modified Z stage for my Cupcake printer, and now I'm hooked.
