(...) Not another chicken walker. Sheesh, talk about old hat. ;) In all seriousness, that hip joint is a real eye opener. Thanks. You only have the two axes of rotation in the ankles, yes? And is the thigh rotation also worm geared? Cheers, Allister (20 years ago, 16-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

Hi all. I've been a lurker for some time now, and I've finally ballzed up enough to want to share what I've worked on. Just some background info, I came across the <foundrydx.com> site in early 04 and it blew me away! I've always wanted to build (...) (20 years ago, 16-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

Just a couple of comments. First, that is a great idea for the toes! I like your style of having two or three toes fanned out claw-style, but I didn't like how it seemed to flatten the feet out, I always thought they'd look better with a little more (...)

Some very cool hip technology there, being able to splay the hip turntables out. And the waist mechanisms are packed tightly in there - a lot of functionality in a small package.

Then check around and see what Mechs use them and see if (...) (20 years ago, 14-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
