The movie has sound..... mostly what you hear is all the pumping of the three
large pumps.


jeesh man, that is great.


Thanks!

So, you applied many useful techniques you developed and found the design paths
as you went along or did you start on a new technique, including the valave
control sequences? Is it an expansion on current pnemo king tech, or did you get
to create a new expound based upon a new idea in control?

This is the third design based on the design methodology I figured out about 9
months ago.  Hex363 is an extension of the circuit used for Quad242, the only
significant change is the addition of two more legs, I guess that makes it an
expansion on the current Pneumo-king-tech.

The next phase called Pneumatic Hexapod omni-Directional (PHD) will be even
cooler.  The changes will be similar to the changes to Quad242, that allowed it
to walk backwards and turn right and left.  I will be adding two pneumatic
polarity reversors for each leg, allowing me to reverse the sweep direction on
each of the legs individually.

One of my long term goals has been to make a Daddy Long Legs spider.  I think
I'm getting very close.


Just making talk, I think its facinating.

Great hex.

Thanks Eric!  When I grow up I want to be able to design creatures that look
cool like your mechs, *and* have them animated like my creatures.
