Mechanisms Building a walking mechanism with legs

interesting model. wonderful

 

Wow! What a thread!

Don't know why I am not able to tag.
But great work Shultz, Pasha, Blue Tower and 97 Ninety Seven.

 

I have found a way to have forward stepping movement on two legs that appear long and natural with narrow foot width.
It uses sliders (with free draggable blocks attached) that connect to the body with stacked motors (that also have free draggable blocks attached). The motors create a flexible tether that helps support the body weight and help with balance to avoid tip over.

 

I am serious at a loss of world. It's justtttt toooooo gooooooood The beak, the neck movement, the design, everything is just perfect

 

wait what how did you do that for real

 

I remember my 3 robots

 

@samiscool ,thank you commenting on this card.
If you enjoy this style of level design…

Give me a like if my guess is correct . You are going to post a level with a giant Mekorama robot (B, P, or Z?)

 

No, it’s a presentation of a mechanism that is very (visually) unique in its application.
P.S. as there have been few posting lately here are a couple of giant Mekorama robots (I recently removed one from the “sandbox” string.)

 

I like eye resemble

 

This level highlights an enhanced walking mechanism. It has naturally appearing bending of knees and ankles that allow the feet to conform to the ground with each step.

Spoiler: “Long worded design development description”

1969, July 20th - NASA Apollo 11 Mission Astronaut Neil Armstrong was the first human to set foot on the moon. This level is dedicated to that event.
It started with a goal to create natural bending knees with a stepping motion. I was also able to add ankles which pivot and allow the feet to conform to the ground with each step.
After watching nothing but legs and feet walking across the screen, I knew that I had to finish the presentation. The unfolding body began to take shape, but it was unstable, off balance and continually fell over. That is when a back pack (which became a life support pack) was added. Following that, I changed the head to a faceless space helmet, added the arms, gripping hands and a wrench (the wrench stabilizes the angle of the elbow and arm hang). I then repeatedly tweaked the overall appearance, after I decided to wait until the 56th anniversary of the first moon landing mission before posting.
