hi kevin,

i must first say that this is just amazing work!

is that 12 new switches on each leg?  that's going to take a lot of
bricklink orders to get enough switches.

i'm was wondering where to find p_swtch.dat, p_lcyl.dat, and p_larm.dat.  i
can't seem to find these on ldraw.org.  your hex363.mpd file is looking for
these.



thanks,

bob

That is awesome! It's very complex and impressive to see. And then it • moves!!!
Great creation, Kevin.

Any chance for a Ldraw file of the beast? ;-)


I have created a web page for hex363, pretty scant, but it communicates
what is
needed.  Included in the page is a link to hex363.mpd.  It does not
contain the
pneumatic hookups needed to make it walk.  Sorry that was too much work.

The final version will be fully documented including pneumatic hoses.

hex363 is the most complicated pneumatic design I've ever created.

And light years beyond what us mere mortals can fumble together with • pneumatics
