Those are pencil erasers held on by white hockey tape xD

Lol alright. I still don't have those triangle thingies, though. And I can't seem to fix my motor's commutator (I derped once and used an AC commutator but I was 7, and I tried to fix it again at 9) and the inputs seem to be glued shut by a battery leak. D:

The motor noise sounds like a rave.

Is that the Theo Jansen mechanism?

Well, since his Strandbeests were my inspiration for building it, I tried to emulate them as best I could. It's pretty close to it from the designs I've seen on Youtube, except I needed some supports.

Will be designing new legs for it today, hopefully so it can walk without any type of supports.

And I thought I was the only person to to this. I'll get some pics in a moment.

I tried making a walking robot earlier, but I can't find the motors. I've got the mechanism all sorted, and I've got some idea of how I'm gonna do the legs.

Ebay is also an option. Might get more for less. I haven't looked though.

Also, 2 things that I made somewhere this year.

Very good work, powerrave.

The second one kinda reminds me of S3 =D

powerrave · « **Reply #59 on:** October 24, 2011, 11:21:40 AM »

I did base it a bit on S3 and Pussycat.
Now I guess I should go get my knex and try to make something that is actually new.
