Design, build, and test a low-cost, four-legged walking robot.
The RoboDog project focuses on building an agile 4 legged robot that weighs under 10kg on a budget. Working together, team members will design lightweight custom joints, rewire brushless motors for extra torque, and write code to get the robot standing, balancing, and trotting.

What You’ll Work On:
Mechanical Design & 3D Printing: Assemble lightweight legs, tune rope-driven joints, and make the frame durable.
Electronics & Motor Wiring: Wire brushless motors, set up motor drivers, and connect everything to a central microcontroller.
Programming & Controls: Write simple code to read motor sensors, balance the robot, and program basic walking steps.
Testing & Documentation: Run joint tests, troubleshoot hardware issues, and keep track of our build progress.
Experience Level: Advanced. Great for anyone interested in 3D printing, motor controls, basic robotics code, and hands-on making.
