I made a johnny five robot from lynxmotion and made many changes ,upgraded to higher torque servo's,added another deck for itx board,change the motors for higher torque,looking to add feedback,plus more servo's in arms ,plus web cam and more
Most of this is done already,was going to use lynxmotion SSC-32 servo board until i found the best controller for it EZB
BIGGEST problem finding a small ITX to replace my pico-itx board at 1 ghz 2 gig ram
here is a photo of the design without changes
will be posting photos of it with changes,it a little apart for more upgrades kit is about $900 and to add very high torque servo's about $1300 like i did 16 servo's now and might add 2 more for drive
Very cool
Send a pic soooon ..we def want to see the proud maker (you) with your johnny 5 ..I love that robot
Robotmaker, That is an awesome robot you are building.
I can't wait to see your progress and more pictures. Thank you for sharing your project with us. Is there a way to make your projects show up under showcase?

STEVE this is a major project for me,it need milling and some lathe work ,witch i have in my big machine shop
Mostly the head design needs to be very close to the real johnny five design and thats the hardest
Then make plastic covering for body and arms ,but not that important
Plus need to finish a few small robot projects like BIPED design 95 % done and roomba design may be 95% done and may be one more
I asked DJ but still no answer on this about showing up in showcase ,i think when i was a ghost and then un-ghosted he forgot to put them back.
