Thanks!!! One of the goals of the project was to make the robot move in the nice, fluid way. A lot of work went into things that can not be shown by photos - coding and preparing the moves. To make it even more fun I had to redo some electronics - the robot stopped working after just sitting...

Painting the robot was a lot of fun. I've done these layers: Prime color Shadows / light surfaces Weathering details Chiping Rust Weathering sufraces Oil/dirt I overdid the chipping, but that's what happens when you're doing it for the first time :)

Happy New Year everyone! I finally found time to get this project going again - there isn't better time than a night of New Year celebration :) I hope to get a better camera soon and make a final photoshoot.... Here are some older picture about what happens when your 3D printer messes up your...

3Dprint.com did a story about my robot, yay! :) http://3dprint.com/54671/ghost-in-the-shell-robot-tank/

I finally found time to fix electronics. Main change: I switched to power source with higher voltage (from 5V to 7.5V) - this gives more strength to the legs. One of the main problems was that it was having hard time standing on the legs after putting so much plastic on it. The robot weights...

Thanks! It's ok. After using it for more than 6 months I tuned it enough to produce decent prints. I wish I knew what had to be fixed before I started printing so much :D It would have saved me a lot of time on postprocessing...

I found out that the old RaspberryPi (model B) is getting in a way of cables after assembling all printed parts, so I replaced it by newer model A+. Everything fits much better now: This is how it looked before the painting of details:

Thanks everyone! Some photos from older printing: "Find 10 differences!" or "My printer misunderstood what I actually want to print (correct piece is on the left side)": "Tail": The part is to big to make it as a single print - the max print dimensions 20x20x20cm. It was chopped into 6...

Thanks everyone! One of the most complicated parts: it's time to cover main-body to which all legs are attached: The optimistic plan was to print it from a couple of parts: Problem #1: printer shifts all layers by ~1cm sometime during printing. It still did in a different place when...

Thank you! 3D printers are not that expensive right now and they are getting cheaper. My one (da Vinci by XYZprinting) is only $500 on Amazon. I bought it with a friend to share, so you can halve that price. Actually for RC it would make more sense to CNC parts from harder polystyrene...

A little bit more of progress on the legs: 3D printing: Polishing (i.e. reducing visibility of 3D printing slices by sand paper and acetone; acetone also gives strength): Assembling: Puttying (is that a word? :)) (hiding marks of 3D printing even further): Painting: Result...

Wiring complete! 2x Raspberry Pi mirco computers (1st for motion control, 2nd for face tracking) 28x Servos (18 for legs, 4 for body, 6 for weapons) 1x Camera (for face tracking) 3x Servo drivers 2x Lasers (how can you have a robot wittout lazors??!!! :)) 1x Distance sensor 1x PS3 controller...

While other bake cookies for Xmas, I bake robot parts :)

Absolutely! I would like to have more precise printer, because at the moment there is a lot of work with sanding paper, acetone and putty :) Of course even with good printer I would have to do the same, but a bit less of it :) Anyway, it's a real helper when you need to build a bunch identical...

A little bit from work progress: Model in 3dsMax: Model in 3D printing program: Model in 3D printing program (after slicing): Printed parts: Here should be some screenshots of work with sanding paper and acetone, because that's a big part of 3D printing, but about that some other time...

A little bit from inside the "brain" of the robot: The robot has full model of itself (in order to do correct simulation) and it's calculating where to make steps in such way that legs do not collide.

This is almost complete frame (except "arms"/weapons) and close to complete electronics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bu7gaKglD3A Motion is controlled by RaspberryPi. Programming in C++, from scratch. It is controlled with PS3 joystick, but there are plan to have some autonomous functionality.

I started working on T08A2 / R3000 spider tank from Ghost In The Shell movie a year ago. For those who haven't seen the movie - I would highly recommend, it's one of the best sci-fi anime movies. Scale 1:20 (roughly :)) One of the biggest problems that I had from the start was non existence...
