   This is the last in a series of Proto Types that use wheels at the toes. I think I am ready to begin the fully robotic
version using black TECHNIC and technology I developed while building the Jamocklaquat.

Most of the other Quads I made use rounded balloon tyres at the toes. This is good for allowing the lower section of the
legs to pivot. I always liked the 49.6 x 28 VR tyres, and it seemed that the squared shape of these wheels would make
for stable footing and provide a flat reliable footprint.

I really like the colour scheme on this!

Do they tyres on the toes turn? I don’t think they do - but I can’t be certain from the pics.

It would be interesting (but challenging) to combine wheeling and walking on a robotic quad... it could wheel along the floor, then change to walking to negotiate the stairs.

Cheers

Richie Dulin
