    Against what do you plan the robot to lean?

    Edit: Sorry, just had a vision of this robot leaning in a door-frame, preferably the kitchen door and talking and talking and talking. It certainly must also have the ability to hold a glass of beer.... :-)

    Remember him?

    Humanoid robot; singing, dancing, cooking, cleaning, minding the kids and also able to build more robots :D

    Mechanics are.... different

    I have these days stumbled over his blog at Arduino.cc, where he is active. I think, that he has ruled out gears too early. Perhaps he should use guitar tuners as winches....

    Well I repeat myself, I found it really funny here: A small typo and something nobody can really do changes to a project, that is possible and fun!
    A game changer.

    Backlash and won't last two minutes...not to mention the thread. Even high-end worm-reducers are only 40% efficient.

    The whole concept is a joke. He has no knowledge-of nor concern-for feedback systems. He'll "think about it later" but he's not worried because Windows-7 will handle everything :D

    Yes I've been active there but also on this forum on my original thread. It's not bumping though for some reason. Was hoping a mod would eventually fix this issue for me. https://forums.parallax.com/discussion/176010/my-advanced-realistic-humanoid-robots-project/p3

    The thread indicates my last post on that thread was oct 2024 but I've posted dozens of times in it including in dec of 2025 multiple times.
