Day 2: Legwork
By Tomas
Pun intended!
Today proved to be another great day with good progress!
Following Day 1, we got some screws (M4x30mm), sand paper (600), double sided tape, and super glue from the department store, as we found out on day 1 that we needed it.
We spent many hours on trying to print the robots feet in TPU rather than PLA, as we needed something with better grip and less rigidity. After many failed attempts, we finally got 4 successful feet in TPU (red).
We also successfully assembled all 4 legs, including their servos. All they are missing is the joints. But they can move now with the servos!
We also made progress on soldering and assembling the main PCB, which is to be put on top of the Arduino mega, in Heracles' "brain".
We also finished printing the remaining 3D parts, which means we can now focus fully on just assembly.
