Hi Fellas.
I haven't been here for a while but have been keeping up from time to time anyways I wanted to introduce my new robot.
I wanted a nice Hex but I had issues with the Phoenix route so decided EZ-B was the way to go. So armed with a decent Chinese Aluminium Hex body I set to getting this thing built.
Today it took its first steps. I don't have a name yet but im sure it will come I put up some videos soon. ive just got to get it all connected again.
Im loving how easy it is to create programs with the ARC I had it walking in 2 hours
so here it is:
Im planning some sensors and maybe an attack Mode with fangs on another servo to chase the cats out of my garden.
thanks for reading. I hope the pictures are there this is my first upload...

It was from Micro Magic Systems here in the UK, called the MSR-H01 Hexapod.
They don't sell them anymore, but it is based off the Phoenix, I believe?
The Company is owned by Matt Denton, who built the Huge Giant Hexapod back in 2012, it weighed 1,900kg, stands 2.8m high and has 2.2 litre turbo diesel engine.

I used a frame from China It looks similar to the phoenix. I bought on the Internet for about £60.00 delivered with bearings and screws all the servos I had previously they are mg996r and mg996r . I have an ez-b v 4 a sharp ir sensor an I've ordered some i2c rgb led for eyes The only issue I have is that 2 servos get hot and I have to let them cool.
I already fried 2 and had to rewire them.

Enjoy

Perhaps im a rookie here, but how did this post get hijacked with someone else's picture on the header
Not cool man make your own posts
Andre confused mad
@drephreak, I agree, your project showcase has been hijacked. I too and others have been a victim of this. Sometimes other forum members don't realize what they are doing and some do. Either way, I think a Project Showcase should highlight that project and not someone else's videos, pictures and concepts of their project that may be related. They should read the Forum Etiquette section here, https://synthiam.com/Community/Questions/321 and start a Project Showcase of their project. Hopefully, he'll remove his posts and video and start his own thread highlighting his robot.
Your robot looks great!
drephreak
you can ask the person to remove his video,but you need to call him by name. els he will not now its about him.am sure he didn know the video will be chown, in your header.he was just excited to see same robot.
@nomad18.08 .... he'll know he's the only one with the "other" video in this thread.... @Bob and @drephreak are correct we (and I have been guilty too) have to stop hijacking other people's threads....
