The MrkII TechSpider is an open-source, 3D printed, quadruped robot platform.
The front is designed to be customizable for any type of module. There for the modules can be easily swaped. On the backside is a container for the microcontroller. This will change to a smaller version, or can be designed smaller, that depends on which controller you like to use.

The robot is designed for a minimum build area of 140x140mm
Used material is PLA with a 0.4 nozzle and 30% infill.

The caps help for now against weird movements from the servos by starting up, because the servos ask totally a high current when powering on from my power supply.

Oh man! I have that problem too haha, or at least while my ESP is binding to the WiFi it jitters the same as the blue led blinks then stabilizes.

man that thing is hot! haha, did you consider masses/moments on the servos? Seems like all your servos are the same size. The 4-legs is interesting, I'm guessing it is like a tripod where 1 leg moves a time?

yes all servos are the same size except the coxa joint. It could be programmed like a tripod for walking. But giving it a learning algorithm can be interesting to see how it will evolve moving through obstacles.

I just noticed the caps, are those functional? Looks cool. The learning thing is interesting, I personally am looking into the obstacle thing myself. A house has irregular objects, some harder to detect than others vs. just a wall.

  Are you sure? yes | no
