This is part two of building MiniBot and Archer there is some additional explanation in the Head Build.

Notes

  • The zero position will always be at the top of the servo.
  • you will need to do this one twice.
  • Keep all the servos facing as they are so the wires are all on one side.
  • Think about the fact that when you build the other arm it will be mirrored.

The claw

In this part you should have down loaded the cad files for the link. In the link there is a folder called minibot. In that file there is a minibot build file that has the whole build of minibot. all you will need to do is save it as an stl which is explained in the Head Build and print the parts.

The first thing that you will need to do is print the thumb2 file and the Archer claw or Minibot claw to depending on weather you are building the Minibot robot or archer controller.

  • As shown in the figure there are 4 S2 screws, 6 S1 screws, one S-B screw, one BU and there needs to be 6 N1 nuts for connecting the thumb2 file to the servo.

Assembling part two

The shoulder parts need to be connected to a servo as shown. it is a tight fit but it works. you will need to do these screws on both sides of the servo. also if you do 6 screws it will make it so the plastic takes longer to break.

  • 4 S1 screws
  • 4 N1 nuts
