Now, think about what physically goes into making yourself walk. How much energy and control is involved? Try walking on a flat, level surface (or better, one at a slight decline, like a very long handicap ramp). Walk with your natural gait, at the (...)

(...) I think I'd be worried that bending forces when operating the cylinders could cause the thin liftarm to snap the inlet. At least with the wide liftarm, the forces would be carried by a substantially larger area, and with the hose also (...) (21 years ago, 18-Dec-03, to lugnet.technic)

Consider the way we walk... we start by effectively starting to lean slightly forward, and we swing a leg some distance in front of ourselves to stop from falling. We then start to bring the other leg forward as we reupright ourselves and repeat the (...) (21 years ago, 18-Dec-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

Matt, Very nice work! Your car looks great. The only thing I would do is add a few of the aero bits between the front wing and radiator intake if possible. Williams upgraded their website and there is some nice info on the fw25. Keep up the good (...) (21 years ago, 17-Dec-03, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.technic, FTX)
