Not entirely sure that there's interest for this type of long form content, but this is HN after all so if there's any chance of anyone being interested it's gotta be here!<p>I'm building a robot 'dog' (quadruped with a tail and a head) and documenting every second of it on video. This first part is lots of CADing. I'm being brutally honest and not hiding any of my mistakes.<p>I also have a background in mechanical engineering so I'm not completely clueless but this project is a first for me. My inspiration was watching George Hotz programming videos (hours long) which I really enjoy and thought there should be a hardware equivalent
