In this live stream, I am designing and discussing the Raiko Project, including proposed parts, software features, and the SolidWorks design. Raiko will be open-source once in the final stages of design!
As the viewer, you have the ability to suggest features, provide design input, and help a fellow hobbyist out with learning SolidWorks. The stream will involve:
Working in SolidWorks, not only showing the progress on Raiko but also demonstrating the actual process I take.
General discussion on the Raiko project
Layout and "pre - coding" in EZ-Builder
For faster response, comment in the YouTube live chat. If you have pictures or more exhaustive comments, post in the Synthiam chat and I will check it frequently throughout the stream. In all, the stream will be about 2 hours give or take, depending on response and my creative skills in SolidWorks.
Sidenote: Off-topic discussion is welcome, as long as it is still in the realm of robotics and Synthiam!
I just watched this. Pretty cool. Thanks for putting this on CardboardHacker.
I was noting your Solidworks techniques. Would it not have been much easier to treat it as an assembly, with the body and head being sub assemblies. If you do this you can avoid all the move/copy's and your model tree will be shorter.
Once again, nice job on the cast
Nomad Thanks for the video.
Perry_S, I considered it, but I enjoy being able to observe the entire robot. It helps me keep a common theme. I will certainly break it down prior to the final stages but for initial work, I am just tinkering with appearance.
