Hi there Sim
here's getting there I keep on meaning to bring a camera to the lab so that I can take some pics. The bodies about 80 - 90% complete, the feet are finally done. It took over a year to get design I was happy with
, I thought I could get it done by easter but that's a long way gone. I have to get It done by 30 Nov for my degree so hopefully it will be at the Birmingham meet. I spent all weekend getting up to speed with my new gumstix have th buildroot environment up and running and can now download and run programmes on it. It should have been easy but do to the fact that buildroot takes over an hour to compile and 30 minutes to copy to the gumstix you an imagen when you get an error and have to start again it takes alllllooooonnnnggggg time.
Hoe to update this section in a week or two, still waiting for little bits and pieces like screws and other bit and then I can put the whole thing together.

IT'S FINAL DONE 
One year after starting this thread and other one and a half years since I started the design and a lot of money later. So some more sexy pictures. I just got to finish the electronics and then I can get it walking hopefully before xmas.
My robot in the lab as you can see I keep a very tidy desk.
Robot showing of it's bum you can see the DX-117's sitting nicely in there plastic butt.
Me holding up the bottom half looking weary eyed after putting in some long nights getting it to this stage.
Me again putting it together looking very happy (it's nearly there) at this point I was amazed and shocked that the project was nearly completed. I thought this stage would never come.
And finaly the finished article. whatch out world the killer robots are on the way.
The ping sensor is just for a laught after one and a half years I still haven't designed the head. I will take some more pics and video when I attually get him doning things. And my girlfriend has named him "Boris".
You might notice that there are alot of screws missing. I order over 100 and used them all, so I will have to some more.
