If you want to make something that is similiar to a spider robot with not as many electronics. This should be a good idea / way you can make these legs work. This instructables will have a step by step guide on how to build these components and how to add them to your project
Supplies
You first need
- Acrylic of any color (hopefully sheet form) I recommend it being 6mm thick just to help support other components in your project
- Having thin iron rods that are cut into small pieces will be helpful , we will talk about these later in the tutorial
- Hot glue / super glue could be useful to bind pieces together in your project
- A arduino board (preferably the
- Male and female wires
- To program the arduino board you should use a arduino agen software

Getting Your Pieces

You want to use a lazar cutter to cut these pieces out of your sheet of acrylic. Make sure that all of these measurements are somewhat precise, but the best. Below is a inkscape file with all the component that I used in my work , but feel free to change them to fit your needs.
Connecting the Pieces
Now that you have gotten all your pieces you should assemble them correctly. Here is a picture on how what it should look like in the end. The following steps with go through how to do them in detail. I suggest printing multiple of the same piece cause its hard to make them align on the first try.

reminder please make sure to change anything to your liking on the inkscape file. Gl
