thanks for the comments
yes, what you described is correct. the blades of the worm gear are angled
acutely enough so that the up/down movement of the legs is not affected by
the back/forth. with just one motor, you cant have too many axes of freedom.

anyways im planning on inputting this model into mlcad, that way it will be
easier to understand.

hello boys and girls

this is a technic hexapod i actually finished a while ago but never got
around to publishing.
it runs on one motor and is no longer than a single technic beam.

check it out and let me know what you think....

That is downright ingenious! I sort of see how it works from the
pictures, but I doubt if I could build one without instructions!

If I understand correctly, the up-and-down power for the legs comes from
the worm gear that is on the same axle that the legs pivot around, and
so the power goes smoothly from the worm to the gear, regardless of the
angle of the leg?

Don't design inefficiency in - it'll happen in the implementation.
