Hello, Great! , I'm glad you like them, The Hexapod has 12 motors, and
walked, looked around, grabed, you name it! R.I.P after much debate it
became the new Mechanical robot I am building now... I just got a new
scanner and it really makes a big pix, I am learning to work with the image
sizes, sorry ,in a way the pix let you see how they were constructed beacuse
they are so big...I'll upload some "shorty's" in the furure.

The Robots take so long to produce because I seek out the elements I need
and slowly buy them. The Hexapod took 8 months to build. Also I always seem
to try to top myself by making the next better than the last.

Thanks so much for the support, Rather than up loading new pix in a smaller
size would you rather I sent them to you sized down a bit?

What do you think?


Thanks Eric

Eric,
I love your robots!  They are astounding!

I haven't looked through all your pictures yet, but your creations are just
incredible!

So, do your robots move?  I know that your current one does.  And its
controled by a vast array of Mindstorms.  BUt what about some of the others?
For example, it looks like the Hexapod has gearing in it. And I see wires
dangling around between the legs.  Does it actually move on its own?

In anycase, these are just amazing.  I can see why it took you years per
creation.  I don't have the attention span to stick with a single project
for more than a couple of months.  These are simply amazing.

And thanks for posting these finally.  You had sent me a few snapshots a
while back showing your current robot, but being able to see all of your
other work is truly inspiring.

Thanks,
Kim

P.S.  If you ever have the time, it would be nice to have the images scaled
down a bit.  They are so large that it takes forever for me to download one
of these over my wimpy little phone line.  I know, people hate to cater to
us folks who don't have a broad band connection, but hey, I don't. And I
can't get broadband where I live.  Maybe in a few years they keep telling
me.  Till then I suffer in silence (well, alright, I whine every chance I
get, but it doesn't help!).

(...) Eric, Well, yes, mailing me smaller pics would be great, but I'd think that it might benifit others here too. And yes, your right that the large pictures make it possible for you to see the construction techniques. But they don't realy give (...) (24 years ago, 3-Apr-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.space)
