About 3 months ago there was an article on hacked gadgets about a mech that I had build this one, unfortunately that mech didn’t work very well and before I knew it there were picture all over the internet about it, so I decide to rebuild it and this what I came out with the M01, I wanted to build a robot that is able to carry a person with and be low cost as possible so I created this robot. It consist of 100 feet of metal, 300 nuts and bolts, 2 windshield motors, 10 door hinges, one joystick and a boat seat all this cost me $1000 that includes the microcontroller and the pneumatics system from the first version that I didn’t end up using.
Also it has 2 12V batteries that can run for like 4 hours, before you have to recharge them again. Of course it still needs some work on it to make it walk a lot faster, but I'm still working on it
Here is a video that I did while I was trying to make it work.
People ask why you building this? Is it a project for work? the reason is simple, is because no one else is doing it, they are building robots that cost thousands of dollars I'm trying to make a point here, robots can be design and affordable as this one.
