Description
CUBY is a fun CyberBrick controlled robot that prints in just 5 hours! It's intended as a DIY robotics platform that can be remixed and developed further using customized prints, code snippets and micropython (MPY) code right here on MakerWorld. Right now you can get started with the included .json that links the control of the legs and lights to a standard CyberBrick controller and expect more functionality to be released as the program is developed further.
Remixing: All the parts are linked as easy to edit STEP files. The license allows remixing as long as it's released here on MakerWorld.
DIY: CUBY is inspired by Otto DIY Robot that uses ultrasonic sensors as eyes. I'm hoping that one day we can also connect a similar sensor in place of the eyes – mechanically this is already possible! This also means that CUBY is compatible with many of the fun Otto accessories that are out there!
I hope this inspires CyberBrick users to experiment with robotics even if just with scripted actions using code snippets. If you develop a full-fledged walking gait that can be remote controlled, please contact me and let's get it out there for everyone! MPY documentation here.
Accessories:
You can publish your own accessories as a profile here or as your own model. Let me know and I'll link it here!

You can use any controller that follows the wiring of the Official Standard Remote.
Assembly:
Please refer to the attached assembly instruction PDF.
Tools needed:
- Small Phillips head screw driver (for servo screws)
- 1.5mm hex screw driver (for BHCS screws, comes with Bambu machines)

Please refer to the dedicated Bill of Materials (BoM) section to purchase the parts kit. Detailed part quantities are also in the assembly instructions.
Remote controller parts need to be printed separately Please find them here: Official Standard Remote
If you already have a Standard Controller that uses AAA batteries, I recommend updating it to use the rechargeable battery with this easy mod, remember to purchase extra rechargeable battery and switch for the remote.
