I am building a C-3PO robot with an EZ robot brain and servo motors. I am starting with a large plastic model of C3PO and I will make him hear, see, talk and move as well as make him interactive.

Do you have a 4-1 sensor in there?
He will look awesome once you get the legs and feet a little more say hydraulic?
Shiny steel amongst the blue would look really good.
Yes he has the 4 in 1 sensor. I am thinking about threaded rod like a 3d printer uses. Make his joints powerful. His last fall broke some of his servos and his neck as well as chipping some of his paint off. I need him to have balance and always work at staying balanced.
My first C3PO robot!
Wow! For a first robot its an awesome one!
Looks freaking awesome well done.
I've seen a video of Dr.Guero pushing against his robot, and it always keeps itself balanced.
Yours of course is much larger, i would follow the same mechanics and simply upscale everything so it will be able to walk.
But yeah its just a matter of the servos.
I would build something half the size, get that sorted first, then it wont seem so daunting to get him walking.
My old C3PO had 1/4 scale servos in his shoulders. The rest of his servos were regular model plane servos. My new C3PO will have all metal gear servos.
Looking Fantastic! Will be great to see that 3p0 walking! eek
So it begins! I have C3PO taken apart and I will have servos in him soon!@mcdaver, where is he(c3p0)?
. Good luck on your build.
