I redesigned the Top Stomach Pistons for quicker movement. The STL files are on Thingiverse. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1047605

Maybe you mentioned it somewhere else but what did you do to modify for quicker movement?
EDIT: nevermind. I followed your link and found out. Nice engineering. I don't know what the original design was like but I like what I see on your mod.
@DJ, We get between 0 and 5 kids every year - I might have him visible and moving around in the shop with some scary lighting, for those that do come over.
What's next, legs?
The old saying, "keeping up with jones" is going put in the poor house, lol.
The video looks great!
I actually used one of your stomach pinion gears modifications in my InMoov for the elbow joints, without having to modify the servo and setup the external pot for the elbow joint. It works pretty well, you do lose some slight moment, when you move the elbow to 90 deg, but not much.
Keep up the modifications.
Cheers,
Chris.
@cem, I hadn't thought of using those pistons in the biceps, I might change mine too. You do lose some torque with them but you gain speed.
And DJ, yes, legs are on the drawing board.
Your improvements are amazing!
