I must have slept through another robot revolution. And I can't afford to join RBR to find out what I missed. Another Christmas bummer..

    Is this the same ROS ChrisL8 used with his Arlo? If so, then we both missed out my plywood brother.

    Hmmm...

    AFAIK, no one has made a plywood hexapod yet. Lately I've lost (sharable) robotic turf to the likes of Duane and Gareth. Such a niche bot might help me recover some lost ground.

    But as I've alluded to in another post, I'm building experimental bots & other microcontroller projects at a record rate for my employer. It's a pity I'm not free to share them here, as I would be winning the war!

    This is state-of-the-art for plywood, my fine timbered friend:

    You should see the one made of stone.

    Stone age bot? Found at Stonehenge, perhaps?

    Maybe it's all been done already. Maybe there are no robotic frontiers left! Confusion fall!

    Nope! Found at a dig in Saudi Arabia. Had a partial inscription "Fr + B ney" on the chassis.
