I thought it would be interesting to show a more or less failed project. I wanted to use standard parts to create a chickenleg bipdal OTTO.
I used OTTO arms as thighs and the standard feet as feet with 4 servos in total.
It works a little bit , in that it shuffles around if you let the servos take mini steps, and frequently falls over on its face.
The problem of course is that 2 DOF just isnt enough, for this form of bipedal you need at least 3 DOF or you need a mechanism to change the balance on one leg before taking a step.
Camilo figured this out probably when designing the standard OTTO.
So for the time being this project is considered a fail but someone may be triggered to dream up something different.
Doesnt mean that i will stop thinking of course ! Have fun.
