Mojo5: The End of a Journey (#12)


Every project reaches that pivotal moment when progress halts, and the creative spark seems to fade. For Mojo5, that moment has arrived. This little robot has encountered a significant challenge in the design of its abductors. The servos have developed excessive backlash, compromising its ability to stand and walk effectively.

In an attempt to resolve the issue, I removed the servos and installed a 'static' gear to lock them in place. Unfortunately, this fix didn't fully eliminate the backlash, and the problem persists. Addressing this issue would require a major redesign, far more extensive than initially anticipated.

With a heavy heart, I’ve decided that it’s time to retire Mojo5. But as with all endings, this marks the beginning of something new. Long live Mojo6.
