Sorry for late replies:
- The big feet affect the stock motions a lot, and the balance is not great. I have since the last post modified the feet twice, now finishing a pair of lipo feet, with a 2000mA cell in each, and flat sole. I had to abandon my idea of fitting platform shoes to Mofo
- Ibot, thanks a lot for the i2c code, most useful. I do not seem to be able to get a reading further than 85cm approximately from my SRF08, could it be caused by echo?

And finally, a pic of Mofo dancing the disco with me in Ars Electronica festival on September 6th in Linz Austria.

I found you need to be careful of the reflections on the ultrasonic. I used foam cylinders on the tranducers and also some foam on surrounding surfaces.

Ended up with a spectacled nerd look. Who says robots don't look like their owners !

Nice fabricating lezed.

How have the big feet affected the stock motions?

I particularly like the steerable sonar head,. neat

cool MoFo

check out the OLED displays that have been added to RN1 to give him a debug/emotion console.

I like him! Its amazing how much character can be achieved with a different head! I don't know what other modifications you made because I didn't follow the thread but it looks neat.

After a few weeks of hard work, my robot Mofo is shaping up.
It has a neck rotation servo, a crude gripper, an i2c srf08 ultrasound sensor, a tilt sensor and 2 heavy feet each loaded with a standard RN1 battery.
I am presently struggling a bit with adding a bluetooth connection (sparkfun bluesmirf), but I might have found the answer on the forum (crossed tx and rx). If things go well, the robot will be on stage with me at a festival in Austria in 2 weeks time.
Great forum, thanks to all contributors:)
