This is a scale mock up of our spider bot.

In the Final rendering however, lego gears will  gear down the servos to a 4:40 ratio, allowing for the linkages to run up to 250 rpm's. To connect the gears, a custom belt could be printed using flexible medium, other wise a vacuum cleaner belts come in a variety of sizes and tooth shapes and are a cheap alternative.

For the spiders legs, there will be two servo continuous motors moving simultaneously. The parts are not available, but this is a demonstration of the source of motion. This was programed through the Arduino without using the BLE Shield 2 and it has the motors in parallel circuits.

BLE Shield 2

This is the BLE Shield 2. It has 4.0 Low Energy. It can be controlled with Arduino pins with a compatible Andriod or IOS device.  The Shield is able to use mobile devices as a gateway. It will be used as a blue tooth connector for the Spider Bot.

Week 3 Update

This is the final Solid Model of our working project I made up in solidworks. Now we will move onto assembly as soon as fabrication is complete.
