I really wanted to make a multi-terrain robot which can climb up and down stairs and over obstacles. This is a small-scale prototype of something which I hope to develop further once I have done some more investigation. I decided that having lifting wheels or 'feelers' was a good idea and I wanted to test outa robot prototype with this mechanism. I'm using standard R/C servos for this test, with 3D printed mechanical parts and an Arduino to control everything.

XROBOTS

Former toy designer, current YouTube maker and general robotics, electrical and mechanical engineer, I’m a fan of doing it yourself and innovation by trial and error. My channel is where I share some of my useful and not-so-useful inventions, designs and maker advice. Iron Man is my go-to cosplay, and 3D printing can solve most issues - broken bolts, missing parts, world hunger, you name it.

XRobots is the community around my content where you can get in touch, share tips and advice, and more build FAQs, schematics and designs are also available.
