Spiderbot Assembly

By Simon Abatay – 3D Modeling & Manufacturing

With the final parts obtained from manufacturer Ali Etezadkhah and the final components casted and cured, the body of Spiderbot was ready for painting. After all the parts were primed and painted, the final Spiderbot was assembled. The servos for the femur pieces had to be taken apart initially in order to place them securely into their designated holders. A combination of epoxy and small screws was used in order to hold the tibia pieces in place with the brackets connected to the femur pieces. Some components were held together with Velcro and double-sided tape until the final operational components could be placed into Spiderbot.

Below are images of the assembly of Spiderbot without the operational components and pan and tilt components.
