Followed and subbed. Good luck. 3d is a hobby of mine. sE by trade. I love to watch projects from zero evolve back to full circle. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for subbing, i'll try to make this worth your time :) I also enjoy watching projects from zero, and somehow I'm a fan of long, unedited content. Have you watched George Hotz streams? That's what inspired me in part. Btw posted part 2 just now - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGFMXu0In7w

I watched him grow out of the jailbreak scene, to other interesting topics. Sometimes his act is puzzling. I like what he is trying to do with the whole portable compute idea. But yeah, he is a smart cookie but his ego is somewhat deplorable. =)

Thank you so much for this project. I've been trying to learn more about building "stuff that moves", and 99% of what's out there teaches either beginner-level fundamentals or how to assemble something that's already designed. The whole process is exactly what I wanted.

This is so encouraging :) I just posted part 2 just now - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGFMXu0In7w At this point i'm starting to get into programming the servos and figuring out leg kinematics. Unfortunately i'm not an expert but I left in all of my mistakes (no video edits) so hopefully others can learn from them. Or do you think I should just edit mistakes and only show the path that worked?

The mistakes are important. Leave them in!
