hi kevin,

i must first say that this is just amazing work!

Thanks Bob.  To my knowlege, you have recreated more of MOC's than anyone else.
I see your work on brickshelf.


is that 12 new switches on each leg?  that's going to take a lot of
bricklink orders to get enough switches.

In PhD, there are 8 new switches per hip, making a total of 12 switches per leg.
The grand total is 74 pneumatic switches, 12 large dual ported pistons, and 4
small dual ported pistons.

The eight new switches create four pneumatic multiplexors.  Two muxes are
combined into 1 polarity reversor.  One reversor is used to reverse the sweep of
the leg (via the hip piston).  The other reversor is used to swap the outputs of
the two switches that instrument the hip sweep.

PhD is not for the small of checking account I guess.

PhD will cost you eleven 8455 backhoes.  Gack!  That is $1,100.......  I suggest
using bricklink instead.


i'm was wondering where to find p_swtch.dat, p_lcyl.dat, and p_larm.dat.  i
can't seem to find these on ldraw.org.  your hex363.mpd file is looking for
these.

Thanks for the nudge Bob.  I've added these parts to the MPD file and uploaded
it again as:

thanks,

That is awesome! It's very complex and impressive to see. And then it moves!!!
Great creation, Kevin.

Any chance for a Ldraw file of the beast? ;-)


I have created a web page for hex363, pretty scant, but it communicates
what is
needed.  Included in the page is a link to hex363.mpd.  It does not
contain the
pneumatic hookups needed to make it walk.  Sorry that was too much work.

The final version will be fully documented including pneumatic hoses.

<snip>
hex363 is the most complicated pneumatic design I've ever created.

And light years beyond what us mere mortals can fumble together with pneumatics
:-)
