The latest robotic update:
As it stands now, SSClagorpion will:
1) Move: (one of these at a time)
A) Walk forward & backward,
B) Turn right & left
C) Step right & left (move sideways)
D) Stop
2) Open & close two claws on it's arms (via pneumatics)
3) Move it's tail. (curl? via pneumatics?)
4) It can stay on a table/stage,
5) Detect when it bumps into something (when going forward),
6) Follow the "controller"
7) Be driven around like an RC car.
Is that enough cool functionality?
To do this we need:
1 Spybot w/controller
2 RCXs
4 motors for movement
2 motors for claws (built into Spybot)
1 motor for tail stuff
2 touch sensors for front feet
2 light sensors for leg position (of front feet)
2 touch sensors (or rotation sensors) for arm-bump detection
This leaves us ports for 1 more motor, and 2 more sensors, and there is
currently no function for the touch and light sensors built into the Spybot.
The above totals don't count motors and batteries for a compressor.
That's where I stand.
I'm interested in messing around with an arm design that can use a rotation
sensor to detect when it comes into contact with an object.

| (...) Ok, we [plan to] have a sensor on the front foot, and can detect when that is down. So, no more sensors are required. So you said, the forward/backward must be changed while the feet are in the air. We've been thinking of having a touch sensor (...) (20 years ago, 19-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic)
