Ok, I think we just need to proceed with the full-blown plan, and worry about
where the parts are coming from later. (maybe it was just me that was thinking
about that)
I've just wrapped up a local event, and am ready to focus a great deal more on
this.
We have several parts/sections that need to be built, and tasks to complete.
Let me start the list, and tell me if I missed anything:
Body: holds 2 RCXs, 1 Spybot, 1 compressor, a bunch of switches, and has
mounting points for 8 legs, 2 arms, 1 tail, and a head (which may be built in).
What shape is the body? Is it oval or rectangle? I think Eric has chosen to
work on this piece.
8 legs. All are the same with 3 degrees of movement, up/down, forward/back,
in/out (at the foot). oops, 2 have touch sensors for floor detection. Do these
need feet? I guess that's up to Eric (snot)
2 arms. The same but flipped. Pneumatic claws & touch sensors.
tail. Extend/curl. move side-to-side?
control switches & switch motors - Kevin
snot - Eric
Spybot/RCX logic - Steve
Spybot swarm to follow this big daddy around - Steve
Is that it?
It looks like the legs and/or the body will determine the scale.
I'm going to mess around with some leg geometry. Kevin, do you have anything
posted that shows distances for cylinders & switches? (how to mount a cylinder
to flip a switch)
