2/5/2021 0 Comments Let the Building BeginBuilding is well underway, as we have received most of the 3D printed parts for the assembly. For the printing, we went with a company in Toronto called Velto 3D, using ABS+ material. The main components of our robot are the chassis or the body, the six legs, and the platform for the payload. The legs are split into three sections: the outer leg, the middle leg, and the inner leg. With each component comes various accessories such as fasteners, bolts, and washers, to connect everything together. Here's a sneak peek of one of our connectors: Now, what's building it for the first time without running into any issues? Yeah, we don't know either. As you can see in the image above, the printed connector snapped between two sections of a leg. This prompted us to slightly redesign the middle link for each leg of the assembly. Once we finished this, we reordered these parts and are awaiting their arrival. For now, we'll continue building up the robot and seeing if we need to redesign anything else.
