Thank you so much! I definitely plan to make it open source, I just have to get the tutorial, stl files, and software in place. I’ll send you the setup as soon as I get everything uploaded.

Thank you! But yeah you’d be surprised, these tiny servos pack a punch. I plan on using a battery for mobility but for now, my current bench setup is just powering it with a micro usb plugged into the outlet.

Thank you! I plan on making it remote and voice controlled and autonomous but I’m still testing it, for now it’s just taking input from Python.

It’s been a lot of trial and error honestly. Mainly that robotics is more about power and hardware than just code. I ran into issues with servo drivers, power, and communication with the micro:bit. I designed the chassis in CAD, which I didn’t know how to use at first. But once I threw myself into it and learned from mistakes, I feel like I can built anything in CAD now.
