Description
First, watch the video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QymeqrlsQgI
MT-20 is an animated MakerTron Robot controlled by an Arduino and actuated via 5 servos. If you don't have those items, do not worry! you can still build it, it's an hybrid robot. You simply have to print "MT20_Servo.stl" 5 times to replace the real servos.
None of the pieces require support, except "MT20_Torso.obj" which only requires a few, and are easily detachable.
It uses Snap-fit ball joints for articulations of legs, arms, hands, and feet.
Head and limbs are designed around the most common micro servo, available here : 5 Mini SG90 Micro 9g Servos
I'm using this Arduino board : Arduino Starter Kit
You can get my Arduino code to control the Servos here : https://github.com/jrbedard/MT20-Robot It includes animations such as wave, walk, run, etc. You can of course create your own!
Have fun!

This looks great, but I'm having trouble with the .OBJ file. Can you possibly provide that as a .STL file?
Print this design and win! We're running a contest until the end of December to win an Einscan-S 3D Scanner. Simply print this design, snap a pic or vid and share it on your social channels. Full details here (copy & paste link) - http://bit.ly/1HkXHR8
Great work! I'm definitely printing one!
congrats.
Great design and print.
Wow, great entry and awesome video J.R. Really cool to see this guy come to life with the servos you used!
Thanks Nick, both the robot and video were really fun to make. At the beginning, I wasn't sure I could use servos counterintuitively outside a torso, but turns out it works pretty well for this model. Still looking for more animations to code into this MT!
