(...) Never done, so it sounds interesting. (...) Done one, so this will be a game of playing with geometries. Sounds like fun. (...) Hmmmm..... Never done an arm. (...) Done one, working on the second..... I'd love to see it with skins. (...) (...) (21 years ago, 11-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

(...) So are you guys getting together in person for this co-build? Man, what I'd give to be there and watch you guys at work. Eric was over last fall and whipped up some basic gear assemblies out of my collection in a way that blew my mind. Some (...) (21 years ago, 11-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

(...) Two thoughts come to mind: 1. If you make a Pnuemo-bot, I'll grow a brick skin on to it. -or- 2. I create the frame and place all the pistons at the joints, then send it to you. You, then create the air circuts, and sequence them to do (...) (21 years ago, 12-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

(...) Hi Kyle, Good to see you de-lurking :^) I've always got more ideas for locomotion than I have time to implement. I wondered if making a two dimensional inchworm (URL) travel like a sidewinder rattlesnake. Kevin (21 years ago, 12-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I think it would be cool to create a scorpion. Of course, they have eight legs, and they should move as four sets of two (not two sets of four). Oh, and you know what would be cool? Make it remote control-able. hmm. I have some ideas. You guys (...) (21 years ago, 12-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

(...) I have a plan in mind for a sidewinding snake. It would be composed of 32 similar segments, each connected to the next by a pivot with two opposing cylinders driving it. The idea is that there is a main extended flip-flop of 8 variables, where (...) (21 years ago, 12-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I was presuming that I'd have 6-8 segments, where each segment (except the last) has two pistons, and four switches (at least). Given how large inchworm is, getting any larger would make it difficult to transport. Inchworm took me about four (...) (21 years ago, 12-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Well 16 segments means 32 pistons and 64 switches. I have that much easily, but the bulk of it is in-model in inchworm, quad242 and PHD. PHD is too expensive to keep around once I get it all hosed together and working. It has 48 switches in (...) (21 years ago, 14-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic)
