Quadruped robot, a walking robot with 4 legs. We can control it using a mobile application. It should perform stable motion in different directions. It should maintain a good mechanical and geometrical design.
2- Describe the project idea and general features. How would it work?
2- Describe the project idea and general features. How would it work?
Our quadruped should walk using a specific leg mechanism. each leg consists of some joints and is connected to a motor. The body contains all the electronic components, the power supply, and the motors. We implement the components using various techniques.
3- Sketch your project: You may use pen and paper or a simple sketching tool like Microsoft Paint or Photoshop

leg 1
insert an eraser to the motor so we can glue any other part to it, not the motor itself
6- Categorize your project’s User Features into: Minimum, Complete, and Nice-to-have features. List the required action and input components per feature.
6- Categorize your project’s User Features into: Minimum, Complete, and Nice-to-have features. List the required action and input components per feature.
Minimum Features: are the least amount of features that would demonstrate the coverage of all the technical modules and their complete integration
Complete Features: are the set of features that will complete your original project objective and vision
Nice-to-have Features: are the extra set of features that will make the project cooler, yet they need extra time, effort, and/or resources to finish
