Update on R2
SO the plans are complete I lined up a friend who can mold plastics. I am starting on the forms and the Main structure of the body. SO it begins...
FOr the duration of this project I will not be on Facebook as I was spending too much time there. and really really want to finish this project.
My first Purchase is the Arduino board. This board will allow me to use Bluetooth or USB to make a controller board. Has about 16 inputs / outputs on both Analig and Digital COntrols. Features nice to haves like Pulse with Modulation which helps with Stepper Motors I will have to deal with.
I currently Plan on being done in 2 - 3 Years cost fully done about 4k

I am currently going to test 3 Motors for Effeciency
1. a Stepper Mottor for a Plotter
2. a COrdless Drill
3. a Scooter Motor
One of those three will be used for the feet design
Tata for now.
