When I started on quad242 I thought the cool thing was going to be the ability to make it modify its behavior to go backwards and turn, but the hardest part was the "no (...)

| (...) That makes sense, but you may want to take a look at the video of Kevin's walkers: (URL) you see, at the end of each stride, all four legs are at the bottom of their travel. So while it is true that half the legs will have to support all the (...) (20 years ago, 16-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic)

| Hello all! Not an aussie icon, but in the spirit of breathing some life into loc.au: (URL) the new williams fw26 (this is the 2004 williams for those who don't follow f1 all that much) I have finally developed the perfect MUCUS technique :) there (...)

| (...) A few things spring to mind about this: 1. I usually run robots from a car tyre air compressor at 25PSI. This gives good performance with 1-2 large cylinders moving at a time. Using 6 large pump cylinders as the air source, performance is half (...) (20 years ago, 15-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic)

| (...) Well Steve, it might and it might not. Given 18 bits of state (two bits/pistons per leg plus two extra), we could have a total of 256K possible combinations of leg positions. We only want about about 10 of them. If we start out the pistons in (...) (20 years ago, 16-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic)

Not the throw of the cylinders on the legs. So the legs will "move" at the same speed, (...) (20 years ago, 15-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic)

| (...) Thinking about this more....... One of the reasons that makes this slow is the inherent piston friction which combined with pressure defines the rate of expansion and contraction. So the rate is not very negotiable. But using rate * time = (...) (20 years ago, 15-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic)
