Today, our hexbot stood for the first time.
We also broke our sixth femur linkage. And then re-broke some of the others.
As you can see in the image below, most of the force on the leg is transmitted through the coxa-femur joint (is there a trochanter in there somewhere? We're a bit fuzzy on our insect analogy.) It's connected to a very thin extension of wood that splits very easily along the grain. We've glued them all at least once now. For the final project, we'll be redesigning
