You read that correctly, the first version of the arm is done. Modeled and thrown together, it is articulated as previously described, and will be ready for early tests sometime this September-October after initial manufacture. Here are so screen shots of the arm. Aesthetically, it was of course inspired by Snake's arm from Metal Gear Solid V (obviously the similarities end pretty quickly because it needs to be functional).
Again, all CAD files will be available on the GitHub page.

Yep, Initial CAD on the forearm is done now. This was not the most mechanically complex part, but being the root of all parts, needs to have to most thought and consideration put into disassembly and maintenance. After a few iterations, version 11 came out to look like this: Aesthetically it could use a bit of work, but It's definitely not too shabby. Again, this will be available on GitHub. During the design, I used a number of public GrabCAD designs for reference of common components (HXT90, Arudino Uno, XT60, SPDT Slide Switch etc.), as well as parts from the McMasterCarr Catalog. The names of authors can of course be found in the STP file.
