6 Foot JD Live Hack

Change of plans ladies and gentlemen! Astro Boy is being benched for a little bit while I work on an extraordinary project for EZ-Robot! It's a 6 Foot tall JD robot! This JD is for trade show installations and it's upper body and head will move around. JD will run off of a 5V 20A power supply and will have giant servos like the inMoov. It is made out of Styrofoam.

Things are looking up!

Sorry guys, the Mega JD project ended taking a ton more time and effort than I expected. All of December and early January was dedicated to the project. After it was completed I ended up taking a week off of work to reenergize. The week after I had family visiting. The week after that I had planned on doing a live hack but felt I needed to put some priority on ARC testing, and that gets us to this week, where I ended up taking care of my sick daughter and inevitably got sick myself in the process . Haven’t been sick in years, it sucks! I’m not better yet, but recovering slowly. I hope to start back up next week. Here’s a photo of the project that you may not have seen (sorry we had to hold back on the photos originally so EZ-Robot could make a splash, it definitely was a hit!)

The feet were made to be anchors for Mega's JD's stability so unfortunately their weight makes walking improbable.

Ha ha ya ,could you imagine the sound those large feet would make in a conference hall? Thud-Thud Thud...
