Description
Doodle is an small hexapod robot that I created as part of my Robotics Master Thesis where I studied the creation of Microcontroller+Open Source FPGAs for robots miming the animal nervous system.
It only uses 3 cheap SG90 motors and it's cheap and funny. You can control the robot using any Arduino shape board, including the Icezum Alhambra FPGA and if you put IR sensores is able to follow a line or others. There's also a holder for a Raspberry Pi zero on the back of the robot.
You can find updated versions, programs and assembly guides at:
