Description

This is a project to make an opensource robot that moves like a dog. Right now this project is more of an OpenSCad tutorial than anything else. However, I will be covering more aspects of the design when I have time.

The tutorial is in the form of a 10 minute youtube video.
Episode 1 youtube.com/watch?v=LmKnvEcPTk8

The OpenSCad source code in this video is included at the bottom. I am intentionally not including STL files for now as I know the design will change.

Episode 2 "DogBot Math":

The Source files for this episode are included at the bottom in a zip file. Thanks goes to tbuser and thingiverse.com/thing:2054 for supplying the openscad fonts.

Episode 3 "DogBot Electronics": youtube.com/watch?v=8-Y19SUuzC8

Epsiode 4 "Dogbot Learns to Feel, Part 2":

Nice job on the video. I actually had no idea that OpenSCAD could do animations!

I like your video about openscad pretty helpful into into designing with it. Awesome project can't wait to see more. Will this be printable on a makerbot?

At DogBot's current state the print area of the makerbot would not be able to print all the parts, but the scad files are configurable. If you choose a smaller servo than I am using and pull back leg_upper_length from 65mm to 30mm, you'll have a smaller robot, but one printable on a makerbot! Or, someone in the community (possibly me if there is demand) can redesign the largest parts into multiple parts. So a makerbot print area should be big enough to build a skeleton, just not at current state.

You should create a wiki for the project!
