Curm 2017: About

Design

We wanted to mimic the movement and look of the AT-AT walker from Star Wars. To achieve this we used 8 servos motors in conjunction with custom 3D printed parts. We used an Arduino mega 2560 to program and control the servos and used an IR sensor to remotely communicate commands to the robots.
