This video details the creation of the Dingo, a low-cost robot quadruped designed and built by:
Alexander Calvert https://www.linkedin.com/in/calvert-alex/
Nathan Ferguson https://www.linkedin.com/in/nathan-ferguson1/

The Dingo was created as a capstone engineering project for the Bachelor of Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering at Monash University.
This video was created as part of the project's formal assessment and hence has been framed in a manner to suit those requirements, however, it gives a good overview of the whole project and what was achieved.

Code for the Dingo:

3d CAD: (Solidworks)

Total cost is ~$1300 AUD. Full BOM can be found in the GitHub
