Subject: Re: [B9Builders] Latest video of me showing(off) my B9 arm - Skin on    Thanks again everyone. Your support really helps me to keep going and motivated.   When  dreamed this thing up I had no idea it would look so real when it moved around. I think a large part of the realism is Will Huff's high quality arm skin and the ease of programing that EZ Robot offers. Without them this arm would be a "misguided mechanical misery" to borrow one of Dr Smith's names for our "old booby".   Steve, as far as being casual about rewiring that little servo; I'm just not too worried about breaking it. I always try to get a backup part or two just in case I do tear up something beyond repair. I try not to be afraid of failing. That attitude just slows down or even stops the work and progress. I tell myself it's just prototyping and part of the cost of building something worthwhile and my childhood dream. To tell the truth I had to rebuild that claw movement section at least three times till I was happy. I still may redo it at some point if I come across a better way. I also have a whole bag of servos I've destroyed or burnt up (including 2 that cost $150 each!) trying different methods of doing things. There may be at least 20 servos of different types in there. I have to keep it sealed up because it smells like burnt up electronic parts. LOL.     Thanks for the interest guys.   Chow, Dave Schulpius  On Sun, Dec 27, 2015 at 10:05 AM, James Chapman jachappy@sbcglobal.net [B9Builders] wrote:

Dave,
Every time I see your newest video, I'm more impressed than the last time.  That arm is just plain neat to watch !!
Looks like you're getting close to building Arm #2.

  Here's my latest video of me showing(off, LOL) how the B9 arm I've built works and looks with the rubber covering skin applied. I don't have the supporting rings installed inside the rubber bellow that help hold the rubber arm in its round shape. The result is that the arm looks a little misshapen and not a rigid.
