Well, once again, it looks like I am the slowest and of course, it will look
like I copied Paul Cook’s idea but ... I didn’t
Here’s the start to my legs and hips
It is ironic after reading Mark’s treatises (all in good humor) about how much
we take walking, balance and center of gravity for granted and how difficult it
would be to build a real Mecha that could do all of those things, etc. etc. etc.
that he would chose a quad-legged Mecha that has only one point of articulation
on the leg?? How the heck does this thing move? Like Oscar the grouches inch
worm friend? Raising two legs and then lowering them?
Anyway, I have decided that my version will have treads.
Somewhat basic hip and leg design

| Here are some more WIP photos. I seem to be posting the most (I thought that was the idea), anyway I hope no one minds. Again, My Mecha is going to be complete symmetric. I always think multi-legged Mecha should be symmetrical that way they can move (...) (18 years ago, 9-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.org.us.cedarlug, FTX)

| More WIP from Me. I am on the final stretch of building. In true "Iron Chef" fashion I have now decided that I am not going to make a Bricklink order to finish my Mecha but I am going to use only pieces that I have. So at the end I realize that I (...)
