The Lynxmotion Biped BRAT (FlowBotics Studio) BRATCF is a serial port-based version Biped BRAT combo kit with FlowBotics Studio software. BRAT stands for Bipedal Robotic Articulating Transport. The robot is a 6 servo biped walker featuring three degrees of freedom (DOF) per leg. The robot can walk forward or backwards and turn in place left or right with variable speed. It can even do lots of Robo-One style acrobatic moves. This combo kit includes everything needed to make an operational robot, however, the chassis and servos are available separately for those who want to use their own electronics.
The Mechanics
The robot is made exclusively from brushed, or black anodized aluminum servo brackets from Servo Erector Set. It also includes an electronics carrier made from ultra-tough laser-cut Lexan.
The Servos
The walker is provided with HS-422 servos. Due to the robot’s light weight, these servos work well.
Powering Options
As with any walking robot, weight is a major concern. The best approach is to keep the weight to an absolute minimum. It has been recommended using the 6.0 Volt Ni-MH 1600mAh Battery Pack and the Universal Smart Charger.
