Stop having so much fun!xD

Would be cool to see some vids of the arm moving.

Perry,  as soon as the servos for the hand come in and I can get it all together and make sure it is all working I will I promise.  This issue is I can’t hold it the camera and control the arm.

I use a camera tripod I dug out of the deep recesses of the closet. I used it many years ago for my hand held video recorder. I found it screws right into my little Sony Cibershot Camera/video recorder (also old). However now I've just started using my phone that actually takes better video and pictures. So I guess I'm in the same boat as you now.  LOL.

Dave, I don't have one of those but I hear you.   I hope the hand servos come this week so I can work to get more done on the arm.  While I have been waiting for the servos I have been working on other things for this new head design and new J1-J2 gear box designs and testing.

If you do not have a tripod or other means of holding the camera perhaps we can think outside the box. Maybe a second human being could hold it. There must be one or two laying around until your bot is up and running.xD

Ok this weekend I will have my wife come down into the playroom and hold the camera. Maybe I will be able to get kind of video I can share with you all.:p

OK I tried to attach the arm and get some type of video with some help from some kids in the neighborhood so I hope this is ok.

I need to move the J2 joint back to improve the profile from the side.

Now that I see it on the robot I want to make some more changes to the J1 & J2 joints using the new gear box with reduced backlash I am happy with all the other joints.   So let's see what Version 2.0 will be like.
