Mech/Exoskeleton Build (Full-Size )

[GMer56]

Hand is almost done: need some switches to control the motors and the screw drive housing.



Used some old holey socks as dust covers XD

Fixed up the other arm (kinda) and put the hand on. Fancy




Need to adjust the hand mount: it's all jammed in between the frame and metal paneling giving Marduk a permanent thumbs up.

Small update with the steering mechanism. Will be testing it before work tomorrow.

 

[GMer56]

Bit of work with the hand:

Steering system works more or less as expected. Did a little fiddling to make the cockpit easier to get into: like making a floor!
Hopefully full test drive tomorrow will be installing:

-right waldo arm
-neck rotation power pack (removed when not in use)
-head camera mount
-head camera (removed when not in use)
-optical system core (removed when not in use)
-power cores (removed when not in use)

to do:
rear view camera (USB)

A look inside the cockpit:

So it's going to be bipedal and autonomous soon right?

It's bad enough that I gotta chase after it of I forget to put on the handbrake!

Making the steering forks more stable

 

[GMer56]

PUNCHING TIME!

 

[GMer56]

That's a big project

It's a childhood dream come true, really...

 

[GMer56]

Well I hope it works out, I cant wait to see the finished product.

Tweak the steering, build some better fists, weather-proof the cockpit and do some aethetics and it will be finished. Then a kickstarter to fund a second one to fight and get a 2 volume how to book onto the market!

Rebuilding that tricky left wheel fork:

Bit of work on the right-hand console

This looks great! If I had the cash, it would inspire me to make my own car! I bet the end result is going to be great!

 

[GMer56]

Bit of work installing the consoles into the mech*

*mecha are not recommended for highway use

Finally added the most important part: brakes

Ehhhhhh.....Brakes are over rated.......Eventually you'll stop.......or hit someone/something that will stop you.

Yup. Was doing a demo for my brother and I drove into a tree. Yelled to pull the lever on the snowblower to which he replied there were three lol.
