I am total new to this thing. I was considering getting a KHR-2HV. I have a look at the store in this forum as well. But there is not indication of which items for sale work with the KHR-2HV or indicated that it is an upgrade option for KHR-2HV.

Anyway,

if I got the KHR-2 2HV what upgrade option can I buy??

apart from 2 X KRG-3, 1 X RAS-1, what else do I need to have?

Should I get robot controller KRC-1,..which I dun want to...

what are the parts should I get so that I can control it from my computer without the umbelical cord....



Should I get the large pcb board cover for the khr-2HV?


I would also like to add a few more degree of freedom and mobility/flexibility to the KHR-2 HV. What parts should I get?

Now for KHR-1 there is a shoulder/ knee bracker extender and also something that give an additional degree of freedom to the torso for the KHR-1

Will this work with KHR-2?

Is the battery pack for the KHR-2hv made up of aa size battery? If nto what size are they?


What other parts should I get so that I can start by having everything there........

Hello isseym88 and welcome to the forum.

The KHR-2HV is currently unavailable until sometime end of September.
It is not clear why but possibly because Kondo have managed to sell all the first batch and are in the process of preparing the second batch of KHR-2HV.

The KHR-2HV has limited number of extension compared to the KHR-1 because it is new.

Wireless: USB radio allows PC to control robot. KRC-1 is an independent unit that replaces the PC for remote control

:D

The rumor over here is that the KHR-2HV turned out to be way more popular than anyone imagined. Most stores sold out in less than a month after the initial release. There were a lot of KHR-2HV based entries in the ROBO-ONE J 7 competition last month, and a huge amount of press coverage/promotion.

Another factor may be that the MANOI AT01 uses basically the same controller (RCB-3 vs RCB-3J) and Kyosho's initial build of the AT01 is 3,000 units which has probably sucked up a lot of Kondo's supplier's production capacity.

Is there a reason why kyosho is selling their at01 for a lot more than the KHR-2HV?

Is it worth buying compared to the KHR2?


I know they used 17 krs-4024 servos, and it also comes with body parts that make it look nice.

And also the rcb3 and rcb 3J is there a price premium for this difference as well?

Hi guys,

I'm actually interested with KHR-2HV in making my first humanoid platform for research purposes. Besides the upgrades available in Robosavvy, is there any sites/forum dedicated to Kondo development that I can refer to ?
