Sparkfun has a converse going right now, which looks tempting. The only thing is I need parts I totally don’t have to qualify. I’ll lol into the economic feasibility while working on a general design. Thinking I might take six dollar teddy and make him the priority.
My current thought, based on streamlining the teddy design schedule to achieve stair dominance giving the right to bear arms. By bear arms, I mean to give it hands, hands that can grasp tools, tools that are claws. I want creepy teddy bear clawing its way up the stairs.
So, to recap, I’m thinking of fast tracking teddy to the full external armature. I’ll put all the heavy stuff in the legs and feet to keep my center of gravity low. I’ll give him arms that end in claws to drag himself up the stairs.
I should start looking at proof of concept. Probably do my initial consultation with the patient, for posterity, and then start seeing stuff up stairs.
Peter's stuff.
