Hi all!

I am going to design and build a jumping robot to a local competition.
Before I start my design I would like to see existing similar robots,
but I didn't find such a thing.

Does anyone know of a robot able to jump?

Thanks in advance,


Javier Taibo

Try Google with "hopping robots" or "jumping robots" for a start. I think
you might have difficulty getting a Lego-only robot to jump, though. It's
hard to get enough force, and just as hard to "wind up" to build enough
force to launch an RCX or Spybot (they are lighter) into the air any
significant amount.

Good luck! Keep us posted on your efforts.

(...) Have it umbilically attatched to the RCX. Use pneumatics liberally. (22 years ago, 20-Nov-02, to lugnet.robotics)
