Robosavy - Space Explorer

Note: The "Full Body Entry" file is the build file, all other "Full Body..." are models fixed in positions to demonstrate and analyze movement capability. The focus of this model is the mobility and increasing the movement liberty of the robot compared to the previous models. The armor decreases the maximum angle of some movements in 20%-30%. But small changes in the thickness of the armor walls may solve this problem. I used a wall thickness of 2 mm. The aluminium plates are simple and very similar one to an other. Making it easier to cut at home. The robot uses two batteries and it has enough movement liberty to be able to remove one battery at a time so it can change it's own batteries. The crawling capability is very reduced by the armor, But several of the other requirements were met. The torso can bend and rotate. The hands have griping capability. The wrists can spin, permitting the full use of a pen, for example. The head has got two degrees of liberty and two led lanterns on the sides. The legs have an additional liberty degree, allowing more realistic movement. The armor is no piece of art, i'm well aware of this fact. But my focus was in keeping it simple and very tight to the chassis so the movement would be less affected by it. To sum it up, The model has better movement without the armor, but I managed to make the new features be less affected by it. Although there are more visually appealing entries this project may have achieved some goals that others may have not in terms of innovation and degree of movement.
