Description A Lego Robot I built from scratch a while ago.
6 axes + 1 gripper.
Controlled by an Arduino MEGA board, programmed in C++.
I've only used "traditional", old Lego-motors; no such thing as Mindstorms or similar is used.
The motors are piloted by an array of relays, but I'm planning to change these to PWM-controlled switches.

Here's a video of a quick motion-test:

The project still isn't finished, but I thought I'd share it with you

Question! How did you make the part where it turns the whole arm?

You mean like the shoulder of the arm?
It's made up of 4 wheels that can rotate along a plane so they take most of the weight. In the middle is a gear ring driven by a motor.

Thanks, i have been having trouble balancing the weight on my crane projects. I will keep that in mind!
