Hi everyone!

I’m curious about robot building, and on YouTube I can only find the simplest DIY robot, the robot arm, and AI slop, is there a community for people liking/wanting/trying to build little robots?

Personally I’d love one being able to roam around outside in the dangerous world like Curiosity but on planet earth (or at least in the garden).

    I watch James Bruton on YouTube, he’s made some seriously impressive robots using all sorts of different locomotions and releases his CAD and code for you to play with yourself. Maybe not little robots to be fair but I’m sure some of them are scalable.

    It’s been the best channel I’ve seen to demystify a lot of robotics from my viewpoint, he explains things quite well and just seeing his creations does a lot to get me excited to try it out.

      Thank you but this is what I’m avoiding 😁 I’m not trying to build a 4 meter long omni-wheel electrical bicycle 😮

      Good reference for crazy and curious stuff though.
