My First Robot: Building a Hexapod From Scratch

[@scaffolded]

Been here since the beginning and I STILL love your robot!

[@RoboticsDIY]

It's not the first nor the last hexapod on KZbin, but I want to say thank you for sharing your project and a bigger on for sharing the journey and putting the effort of editing all that material from over a year. Showing how you made the design, including the things to do better next time, is valuable for people who like to start themselves than watching a quick clip how someone put together a kit form Amazon or from China. I shall follow your second Tazer Technical channel as well. Also cheers for pointing out Assert robotics project. Suggestion - add his video to the resource list in your video description.

This was definitely one of the better suggestions youtube has given me. Great work! Looking forward to seeing more of what you do :)

[@adriangaleron3293]

I cant believe i missed this video. Awesome work! Designing, programming, recording, scripting, editing etc. Thanks for sharing your work. I have been designing a smaller as possible hexapod robot as a project for some studies. If u want i can share the cad with you. (I dont know how though) Greetings from spain!

[@PotatosCoasters]

This is actually amazing. So much work was put into this video. Great job!

[@mambo5431]

fun ride, fun project

[@Tuna_the_shark]

loved the whole series! excited for your next project! (now i am going to watch the deep dive of this robot)

For stronger printed parts i always use D50 tpu. It is rigid enough and almost indestructible, comparing with other materials.

[@hrmny_]

consider getting a pinecil (nice cheap soldering iron) also omnifixo is great (better helping hands)

[@tonderainyabepu]

nice work man

[@archangel3614]

Nice project! Greetings from Poland :)

[@AJB2K3]

Nice work .

[@SianaGearz]

Caution with standard threadlocker. I think it won't do anything to PLA but i have seen it very efficiently depolymerise PETG and HIPS, and it might do the same to ABS. Even the fumes not just the direct contact. Apropos HIPS, you can print it on an open frame printer when there's no draft. On an Ender3 you don't need fan enabled but on my DIY printer i set like 5% PCF because my coldend fan isn't leaking into the hotend area.

[@AecertRobotics]

Great project + video man! I admire your courage to bring this into a grocery store and drive it around 😄 Also the silicone sphere feet turned out so well! Although they look kind of annoying to make. I wonder if printing them in tpu would work?

[@TazerEngineering]

Thanks! I saw some guy use TPU for his 4-legged robot, so it would probably work. I'll do some more real life interactions once a build a working robot :D

[@adriangaleron3293]

You two guys rock!

[@gustavsdambis8124]

This is soo cool

[@RPBCACUEAIIBH]

Since you have 18 or more servos, and 6 legs, you may also want to try object oriented programming. It makes code maintenance a lot easier, although you may need to learn a new way of thinking. Basically you define let's say a leg class with it's own variables, constants, and functions it needs, and make 6 instances. It's like designing 1 leg, and printing it 6 times.

[@TazerEngineering]

I didn't know Arduino IDE had OOP when I started. I might give it a try with my next robot.

[@wdkpwr6586]

proč nepoužít ELRS přijimač na RC ovladani a měl by si dosah par kilometru :D Moc pjekný videa . puvodně sem přišel jen na electroplating ale už sjiždim všechny xD

[@Strolledhalo977]

1:20 fusion 360 is wanting to charge me $2500 for a year

[@XtronCZ]

já jsem věděl že jsi čech :D jinak super robotí pavouk, ale zajmalo by mě proč nikdo nepoužívá Esp32 ale Arduino uno, vím že jsi ho měl na ploše ale nevidím ho na robotu

[@bombsczech4338]

I didnt tedá já ne to je mindfuck

[@vclaeysen]

Hello, Great job, I have the project to build one. Is possible to share your code, I would like to understand the main algorithme for legs animation. Thaks

[@creatvitylight224]

😯😯💙💙

[@Xenko007]

Hexapods Are soo Cool!!! give it Ai Lol!!! 🤣 Connect it with wifi to a Computer to Explore a forest and record interesting stimulus!!!

[@ThatOneDelusionist47-9c]

funny and small robot

[@ericcxxxx]

stl link pz

[@s0kol44]

WAIT U ARE ALSO CZ??

[@TazerEngineering]

yeah

[@gloglas]

Jsem zvyklej koukat na podobny videa v anglictine a necekany "ku**a", "do***i" s lyncovanim cesky posty me vzdycky rozesmeje.

[@CuriositySoftware]

Česká pošta není zas tak hrozná 🤣

[@IsojoIzumaki]

Not to be rude or anything but, you need better wire management, sir! 🫡

[@TOMS343]

Wire management on a constantly changing design is not necessarily good idea, he even mentions the what he did have was a constant pain, zipties are the best you can do if your design isn't final, at least in my opinion. Especially without modifying the servo cables if they are either too short or too long. He could also want to keep the servos stock for easy replacement.

[@IsojoIzumaki]

@TOMS343 I see, so that's why he hasn't manage the wires.
