Note that the joints are simply bits of elastic tied through the connecting pieces. We don't know yet if this is a suitable way of making joints, but they look ok so far - and allow for multiple degrees of movement, in all different directions, not just in one direction (without having to use expensive ball-and-socket type joints)
Please, no more comments about how messy the desk is or "haven't I seen that black guitar somewhere before?" - we tend to tidy up after we've finished what we're making. Which, given the number of projects we've actually completed, explains why the place is always such a mess!
Now to let the glue dry before trying to actually move it around.
So while that's happening, let's get on with the controller board. As ever, it'll be a USB HID device, driven by a trusty PIC 18F2455
(the final robot may not be usb-driven, but putting a USB chip on during development makes it really easy to read back values for debugging and to see what's actually going on in your code!)
