I am really excited about the new Synthiam mapping/nav functions as well as the additions to the Roomba movement panels. I needed a new bot to play with so I am making............"something."
Not quite sure what this will be but I am using an inmoov body printed at .64 scale along with my eyepod design for a head. This is on a new Create 2. I spent a lot of CAD time scaling the inmoov and making sure servos fit and all the functions were preserved. If you scale the inmoov down .64 then the large servos it uses become roughly the size of standard servos, that is why this size was chosen.
Since he is a small inmoov that moves I have named him Mini-Move

may i ask where did you get the stl from this part .
the black parts .

i can hear your gears thinking .xD
I have been working with the Create 2 and really like it. It comes with the cable and docking station as well so pretty much ready to run. I drilled out the top plate to provide access to the serial port which was really easy as it is pre-marked on the top.
@EZAng - I need to get a little more done before I can make a decent video
@Nomad - I started with this file from Thingiverse. I had to edit a bit to reinforce and a better fit but you could use it as it is pretty close for a full size inmoov

@Robo Rad - It does seem to be perfect size and currently fits within Create 2's bumper switch envelope. I thought of your cylon bot immediately after watching this one drive around. Pretty stable and not too top heavy.
Here is what it looks like. The top plate has all the areas marked to drill holes for various functions. If you look here I have drilled out the hole for the serial cable. I had to order connectors to make the connector. Props to Jeremy for putting those instructions on Github.
As far as the mini part of mini-move I have had fun printing him out. I was able to combine a tone of parts for printing. I use Solidworks for that. You can't just arrange the parts together and print them because there are clearances around the dovetails so you end up with gaps. I had to add solid material in all those positions. Since he is so small I could print all the major pieces at once after they were joined.
The chest piece looks pretty cool
Here's the waist section which I printed in one piece. The servos have the pot and electronics removed to be placed in the waist axis eventually.
More to come
these are great pictures .thank you for the link .
You can see how it meshes with the waist pivot point here.
So now I can lay everything out. This thing seems tiny.
All buttoned up and tested with an IOtiny. Works great.
these pictures are fantastic .
thanks
Keep it up brother!
i am a little confused about this picture . it seems the middle lower part is backwarts consider the grove for the bearings .
eather the the middle part is backwarts or the wormgear nut .
just paint
