The mechanical design of the TNY-360 is built around four goals: keeping the robot rigid while it moves, protecting the actuators during unexpected impacts, making the body easy to assemble and customize, and providing useful physical references for calibration.
This section introduces the mechanical choices that shape the robot's behavior.
Understand the roles of PETG, PLA, and TPU in the structural, aesthetic, and flexible parts.
Learn about the disk technique, mechanical stops, motor protection, and calibration references.
See how clipped aesthetic parts simplify assembly, replacement, and protection during falls.
Understand the separation between the head, torso, back, and battery areas.
Explore shock absorption, grip, and Hall-effect ground-contact detection.
