The only thing left for my project is modifying the leg connectors to a reduced friction solution. While its nice to see DromeDroid walk on air, perhaps I should also change the motors to ones with a higher torque. This would enable the robot to finally walk on land!
My sensor works well, even if it’s a bit unreliable, and my code also functions nicely. However, the legs cannot support and move the whole robot while walking on land. My 3DPrinted connectors did not work and my screw connectors produce too much friction, which is causing the increased torque requirement.
- What is the best way to make friction-free connectors?
- How can I increase the torque of my motor?
I have learned a lot about designing, making anything I dream, fabricating with different methods, designing and programming my own electronics. I have also learned how to integrate electronics with physical objects which is something I had never done in the past. It has been a very tough yet rewarding class.
