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.

Upgrade to ARC Pro

Your robot can be more than a simple automated machine with the power of ARC Pro!

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.

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.
