Lessons Learned

Published on 2017-03-19 in Deltabot.

• Inverse kinematics of delta robots are actually simpler than those of arms

• Accuracy depends heavily on the play in various parts

• Some cheap servos have a lot of play – I think even SG90 servos would have been better

• Ball joints can have some play too – make sure to get ones with smaller balls

• Unused PCBs make great building material, if you just remember to add holes in your designs

• Having a bag of nuts and bolts in your drawer is great

• Paperclips can be soldered to PCBs and make great loops for bolting things to

• When figuring out kinematics, don’t draw your robot in the neutral position
