This is a project to make an opensource robot that moves like a dog. Right now this project is more of an OpenSCad tutorial than anything else. However, I will be covering more aspects of the design when I have time.
The tutorial is in the form of a 10 minute youtube video.

The OpenSCad source code in this video is included at the bottom. I am intentionally not including STL files for now as I know the design will change.
