Progress on Super Mega Microbot

I have some incremental progress to report on various parts of Super Mega Microbot. First, I have a draft fully assembled leg for a mammal walking configuration. It is mostly just the stock Dongbu brackets, with a custom Shapeways print at the final joint holding a standoff and rubber stopper.

Second, I’ve been working on a gimbal stabilized turret. I have video from a prior incarnation below:

And a first draft of a 3D printed turret bracket that permits a full range of motion of the turret:
