I am determined to make Voltron walk! I'm printing new bracket designs to bring his height down. We'll add some new sound effects using Audacity too. I hope to have Voltron completed this Friday and if there's time we'll get up to some more shenanigans. I have a backlog of projects to finish! Feel free to ask questions and make comments in the chat, I like being interactive during the stream:)

@Robo Rad Yes, more weight on the feet may help, but the flexibility and height factors need to be addressed first.

I had meant to make a post last night but I must not have hit "post comment", my bad.

Thanks @Robo Rad! It was a great night, I'm very happy that Voltron now walks! I really appreciate all the support from this community with cheering me on all the way to the finish line.:D

For those who don't want to watch the 12 hour struggle (3 Hack nights worth), you can see a tiny clip on my Instagram Page. Thanks to @DJ for his help filming a small clip after our hack session, when he was ready to head home.

With this win it makes me very hopeful that we can see all kinds of creative 3D designed Robots being printed, come to life, and walk away. I am a true hardware guy, and always like to talk about the hardware side of things, but the real secret sauce of Voltron comes from the ease of use of the software: ARC. I don't talk about it enough. If not for the real time adjustments I could make with ARC, I could not have made the walking gait of Voltron. 3D printed robots, built with a lot of hot glue, are far from precise and they need software that can adapt, ARC does a wonderful job of that!

Thanks again Synthiam Community, I look forward seeing to the next robots you all are making!

P.S. @Robo Rad I'm glad you liked that movie, I hope to see it soon.
