strongest material,like some robots use and quadcopers use it mostly because it super strong ,one of the lightest material there is ,easy to cut and work with fiberglass is about twice as heavy,i work with both of them,mostly the resin what makes it heavy,plus very messy

there is some bad news on using carbon fiber sheets high high price

but JOSH LOOKING FOR A VERY STRONG BASE there is a easy way use aluminium angle ,not to thick and attach lightweight plastic panels to the side and still use your square rods and top and bottom pieces use the angles all around the top and bottom,can hold easy up to 100 lbs depending on the thickness of the panels and super easy to make,mostly when i make test equipment cabinets at work we use black plexiglass sheets 3/16 thick and square tubing ,but pvc tubing still ok too,i can sit on my box and will not bend

Because the price of carbon fiber is ten Times more than fiberglass ill just use fiberglass which generally is still lighter than wood or metal , I will consider adding aluminum angle brackets once the shape has been made. Aluminum as a braver is a very good idea I will utilize. I'm planner so I like to have each part worked out before starting the next step. I need to do torso ext and the 180 base rotation so the power head is up front. Great news is the 850nm IR LEDs cam in as well! I have 200 , plenty.to screw up just in case lol.

Playing around today I kicked around the idea of using a 7" screen instead of a 4.3 , again just playing around , I used the plastics just propped on the sides.

IF anyone didn't know I have a symmetrical obsession so things that are asymmetrical (not exactly the same on each side) bother me. Even a gun arm is weird , so the fact the screen on this is not perfectly centered freaks me out at first , but having buttons to turn on or of the screen is beneficial.

It definately looks like it will fit. What will you display on it?

#749  

the.desktop , but a second screen so it shows a different image , maybe a video animation? Or system monitor , obviously i could use it to make small changes or trouble shooting if i couldn't get.it to boot straight to real vnc remote desktop , 7 inches is the size of the upper torso ext. That puts the height at 33 inches.

I may not even do the lower ext as it will for sure be more difficult but I also want him to be a ideal height.

#751  

Could you just make the one area taller?

#752  

That's what im thinking at least , I need to.find a genuine reason to lift the lower section. I was even thinking of making it more than 7 in , the goal is make more room for equipment and him be tall enough to grab a beer off the table.or counter.
