Preorder confirmed, and a question about spare servos
by Nils Bipedal · 8/28/2026
Order in. Now the waiting begins.
While I wait I am reading through the open-source repo and trying to understand the actuator limits before I start pushing torque in sim. The thing I keep coming back to is durability: a 25 cm biped that falls a lot is going to wear something out eventually, and I would rather have the replacement on the shelf than wait for shipping mid-experiment.
Questions for existing owners:
- Which joint fails first in practice — hip, knee or ankle?
- Is it worth padding the feet, or does that mess up the friction assumptions in the stock policy?
- Anyone printed a simple stand for tethered training so it does not faceplant every reset?
Thanks in advance. Glad this place exists.
