Kevin- I am in the design phase of my crane (the Demag AC 500-1 SSL) and currently I am working on the control system for the pneumatics. Following Ross Crawford's idea, I came out with something like this: (URL) am trying to control four pneumatic (...) (20 years ago, 22-Aug-04, to lugnet.technic)

Hi, After working on it for one year (on and off), I've finished a large, crawler crane. Read all about it here (scroll past my minifig crane to the bottom of the page): (URL) (20 years ago, 23-Aug-04, to lugnet.technic) !!

(...) Just a follow-up -- all I had to do was slightly redesign and reattach the feet, with the cam-driven connection on the outside and the stabilizing connections on the inside. It now walks quite reliably! Very cool. This bot is cute in a sort of (...) (20 years ago, 23-Aug-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I think you're right. For the record, I tried simply shifting the foot plates in one stud each -- and this does sort of work; the bot now wobbles a lot but, most of the time, actually transfers from foot to foot. But I think your analysis (...) (20 years ago, 23-Aug-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) OK, so I think I know why it won't walk. Right now, the rotation axis of the ankle is on the outer edge of the foot. This means that when the center post lifts the foot, the inside edge of the foot lifts, while the outside edge of the foot (...) (20 years ago, 22-Aug-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Oh, I was under no illusions that this would magically solve your problem, and it should be possible to compensate enough for an inconsistent COG that it won't matter in the long run. It's the transition point between the two where it'll (...) (20 years ago, 22-Aug-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I'll try that. Though if it works, I may still be baffled as to why. What is it that causes the CG to move over the down foot at all? At the start of a walk cycle (when we go from both feet flat to one foot lifting), you have one foot lifting (...) (20 years ago, 22-Aug-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I appreciate the attempt, but I don't think that's it. Despite how it might look it is, in fact, very carefully balanced, and the bot doesn't seem to favor one foot over the other. Thanks, - Joe (20 years ago, 22-Aug-04, to lugnet.technic)
