All Mechanical Parts
6 Servo Biped Walker (Servos Not Included)
Can be modified with Servo Erector Kit
The Lynxmotion Biped BRAT Kit (No Servos or Electronics) BRAT-BLK is a 6 servo biped walker with three degrees of freedom (DOF) per leg. The robot can walk forward or backward and can turn left or right on the spot at variable speeds. It can even do a lot of Robo-One style acrobatic moves.
Mechanism
The robot is made entirely of brushed or black anodized aluminum servo mounts from the Servo Erector Set. It also includes an electronics carrier made of super-tough laser cut Lexan.
Servos
The manufacturer provides the walker with Hitec HS-422 servos. These servos work well due to the robot's low weight.
Power Options
As with any walking robot, weight is a major consideration. The best approach is to keep weight to a minimum. The manufacturer recommends using a 6.0 volt NiMH 1600 mAh battery pack and a universal smart charger.
Controlling the Biped
The robot is available in two basic configurations: Animatronic (connected to a PC) or Autonomous (controlled by the onboard Basic Atom Pro processor). The Autonomous version includes the Bot Board II and the Basic Atom Pro processor.
