Starting the process of converting the cardboard mech torso panels into 26 gauge steel. Strong, magnetic, shiny!
Making cardboard templates for the torso. Its much cheaper experimenting with cardboard before committing to steel
With over 3000lbs of torque, this is quite a mech transport platform!
You can see I built it before I started the mech's retrofit :D
Before the retrofit the mech DID function, but it was quite a mess. Now its gonna be easier, safer and better!
Not only has the skeletonics patent expired in like 2023, but I created my own version that is much simpler and cheaper.
Anyone interested in a "how to" video?
Experimenting with the ILI9341 lcd chipset. Unfortunately it is old and not updated so it can't be used for something as real-time as robowaifu eyes (maybe 4FPS for 2 screens at best)
The torso armor juts out a bit too much so I'm rebuilding the mech's chest to be more streamlike and stable... out of steel tubing.
