Humanoid Biped Leg Pair Assembly Guide

Updated August 30, 2007

Hardware: 4x Multi-Purpose Servo Bracket Two Pack (ASB-04) · 5x "C" Servo Bracket w/ Ball Bearings Two Pack (ASB-09) · 1x Alum. Robot Feet Two Pack (ARF-01) · 8x HS-5645 Digital Standard Servo (S5645MG)

Goal: Assemble a pair of humanoid biped legs using servo brackets.

Notes: This guide covers one leg for the robot's right side. Repeat all steps as a mirror image for the left leg. This is only an example — there are countless other configurations with fewer degrees of freedom, tubing, etc.
