The Penguin Robot is a precision-machined 4” tall biped. Similar to the Parallax Toddler, Penguin walks
forward with a tilt-stride action and turns by sweeping both feet on the ground in opposite directions.
Individual movement segments are linked together for this robot to walk. This basic biped design
functions best in the Penguin’s small scale. The Penguin mechanics have a close-tolerance fit and are
designed to provide precise electronic control.
The Penguin’s microcontroller is an embedded BASIC Stamp2px24 module, the fastest and most powerful
BASIC Stamp in the Parallax lineup. The Penguin requires three hours to assemble, after which it is a
PBASIC programming challenge to exploit all of the robot’s capabilities.

... Press it onto the servo so that close to cross-wise to the Penguin body as possible, it may not be perfectly perpendicular because the spline is toothed. For fine-tuning, this can be corrected with calibration-in-software using sample code available for free download from the Penguin product page.

... If it takes force to move the legs you have one of two problems: either the metal parts have bound, or the screws are too tight into the body panels. Tighten everything enough to remove “slop” but not so tight that parts are unable to move freely. Copyright © Parallax, Inc. • Penguin (#27313-27316) • v1.0 7/12/2007 Page ...

... Next, use the 1.5 mm hex key to tighten the 4-40 long 0.149” diameter stainless steel shoulder screws into the ankle. Then Penguin will now stand up without assistance. Four (4) 4-40 ¼” long 0.149” diameter stainless shoulder screws hold the ankle to the feet. Copyright © Parallax, Inc. • Penguin (#27313-27316) • v1.0 7/12/2007 Page ...

... Press the assembled servo horn onto the tilt servo, positioning it cross-wise to the Penguin body. Do not over-tighten the screw; you may need to take off the horn and re-center the servo if it gets moved during the next step.

... If the tilt servo is not horizontal, remove the screw and very gently pull the horn off of the spline. Re-run Penguin-CenterServos.bpx, which should bring the feet together. Replace the horn on the spline, and replace the screw. Copyright © Parallax, Inc. • Penguin (#27313-27316) • v1.0 7/12/2007 Page ...
