JAQUELINE - oaky's last cardboard robot

this is the last robot i plan to make out of cardboard

its a three-dof quadruped with spiky spider legs will post a video soon

right now its prototype is held together with duct tape

Name taken from the failed super gif I assume

yep

the movement is really weird to me because my experience with robots doesn't go beyond the first dimension of freedom

to make jackie work without a lot of trial and error i need inverse kinematics and of course i need to balance the weight this time

will be uploading that young video soon

the revival of jacqueline

hopefully she will not suffer her previous fate again

reading shit like this brings me back to the years i spent in high school trying to "figure out inverse kinematics" so i could get the angles for the servos to move to the right position instead of just using an existing library like a normal person

for some reason even though i had no problem using libraries and frameworks for other things (90% of ottd's scripts are jquery and all of the funbox/other assorted electronics projects had libraries for graphics/SPI/I2C/etc) i HAD to make everything by hand with the roborts

i did end up building just the leg though, ill show it someday to any interested persons i guess

lets see it

oaky's stupid fucking robotic leg

i dunno why i never took a picture of it all i seem to have is a blurry video of the leg doing some kind of swimming motion

true to what i said it is literally held together with duct tape and a few aluminum pieces from an old erector set

i know once i finally put together all 4 legs and attached the body it was literally too heavy to stand up without being powered and barely had enough torque from the motors to move

the 3d printed spidery robots you guys have surely seen is the spiritual successor of her of course; as soon as i stopped working on this robot i ended up building my 3d printer and making the printed ones the following summer
