Kevin, in preparation for our co-build,

Two thoughts come to mind:
1. If you make a Pnuemo-bot, I’ll grow a brick skin on to it.

Well I could document quad242 and you could use that as a basis for a design.
You could mutate it all you want once you rebuild the original.

-or-
2. I create the frame and place all the pistons at the joints,
then send it to you.
You, then create the air circuts, and sequence them to do something cool.
Then you send it back, Then, I complete the construction.

The trick with my style of pneumatic designs is that each piston needs to
control two switches, so it would not be enough to put the pistons in place.
You’d also need to make sure the switches are in place as well.
If we decided on the kind of creature we wanted to make, and the general
articulations and movements of the creature, I could design the pneumatic
circuit, and then you could build the creature from there.
I have pneumatic designs for bipeds, quadrapeds, hexapods, and inchworms. Any
one of these could be a basis for an Eric Sophie build.
My inchworm has a very nice undulating style of walking, and I can only imagine
the beautius Chineese dragon you could make out of that.
Hex363 is a great candidate for you to put skins on.
Then again, something completely new would be fun also.
If we pick a creature type that we want, identify the articulations we want, and
the movement patterns we want, I can lay out the circuit.
For me, a new pneumatic circuit would be more fun than reeusing an old design,
although using an old design with Spohie Style would be fabulous as well.

3. Alternate ideas - open.
|
How many pistons and switches do you have?
| |
e
P.S. I’m footing ALL the peices.

| (...) I think it would be cool to create a scorpion. Of course, they have eight legs, and they should move as four sets of two (not two sets of four). Oh, and you know what would be cool? Make it remote control-able. hmm. I have some ideas. You guys (...) (20 years ago, 12-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic, FTX)
