Webcam montée sur un bras articulé

Pour prendre des clichés rapidement, des petites vidéos pour illustrer tel ou tel bricolage en cours, je me suis arrangé une webcam sur bras articulé.

As my 4WD slowly evolves, I wanted to think on my next platform. One of the form that fascinate me is hexapod robots. They quite always looks organics in their moves and it seems that they can be easier to build than full crazy out of price humanoids ;) Once more, the final push came from Let’s make robot. To be precise, Chopstick junior’s page. The author, Lumi, has real good tips and tutorials...
