This year i made a decision to get back into building robots. So, I'll start with this! Kind of ironic, an Imperial AT-AT Walker that doesn't know how to walk... yet!
Tomorrow I will add servos for the knees and teach him to walk. I'm allergic to dogs, so he'll have to do!

Jeremie's Fridgebot
This isnt a new robot but rather a remix of an old idea I had. Its based off of a robot that I built for a 555 timer...
At work so I haven't had time to watch the videos yet. Are you using the orientation sensor to have it take corrective action of it starts to fall over?

That's a new one for me Jeremie... Very funny. Thanks for posting that, it did make me laugh.
DJ, you nailed the walking really well. Love his dance moves too. You have given your AT-AT such character now you'll have to give it a name.
HAHAHAH, Loved it!
DJ, Glad you went back to playing with technologies to expand it. I found your robot controller last winter and I love it, i program just simple ladder logic and love the way you can expand on the EZ. i just hope you expand it more and teach us old dogs a bit more. As to the rest of community ... Thumbs up to the max this is the best forum I have ever been a part of, the learning curve and challenge makes this a very good hobby!
What about the robo 3d printer my wife will get me for x-mas :;
again DJ keep with your love and show us more!

Loved the build so much, I had to get one myself to convert. Have you seen the playschool version? It's like a child version of the larger At At . Did you use the original Kenner version or the Hasbro version?
I have a video of the build in raw snipplets sitting on my laptop. Even the unboxing - which will tell you what version it is. At the top of my head, i'm unsure
I recall the box had a lot of green and black on it! If that helps?
I'll get that video rock'n someday soon!
This is a wonderful build. I am so glad you are back to building robots! I just got 2 AT AT walkers off ebay and will be getting a 3rd. I also just got the newest R2D2 RC Interactive Droid. It would make for a great EZ-Robot project.
Ok, I've been looking at your product line for a while and I'm willing to give up my servo controllers and arduino boards I you can answer this question for me. Did you program the gait using only the ARC software? Because that would be amazing. I have a scratch built quadruped that i don't know how to program. Thanks
