  Re: Best pneumatic hexapod yet!
 
I am currently working on a eight legged walker that may end up being ssclagorpion, but who knows. It is using a new central timing circuit that should allow it to complete the walking sequence in four piston transitions. I had been in a DA for (...)

  Re: Best pneumatic hexapod yet!
 
Hi Pixel, The walker was built to someday be able to talk in any direction, not just forwards/backwards. Sigurd, didn't have enough pneumatic hardware to make this version omni-directional. This left the two side legs elbows disconnected. I have (...) (19 years ago, 28-Jul-05, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

hi it's heavy :) why two legs haven't last segment cylinders connected to the circuit? pixel "Kevin L. Clague" <kevin_clague@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:IK55Eu.CpK@lugnet.com... (...) friend (...) (19 years ago, 28-Jul-05, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

(...) Hi Andreas, Given my email exchanges with Sigurd, I believe that the circuit is a variation of the circuit I designed for my Quad242: (URL) If so, you can find out more about the circuit design here: (URL) It looks like each leg has three (...)

(...) If theres ever a blueprint of this one I´d like a copy...never tried to build something like it but might try some day... How many Pneumatic Cylinders (18+4?) and Switches (52?) were used? Andréas (19 years ago, 25-Jul-05, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: Using town garage door pieces for bulldozer treads
 
(...) I'm not sure how you could use any of the doors w/ handles, since the handled-door panels have to be on the end of a series of doors... Might run the risk of popping apart too, I dunno... I asked a while ago in a thread about making custom (...) (19 years ago, 25-Jul-05, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: Using town garage door pieces for bulldozer treads
 
(...) I think I still prefer the method of using technic tread links with 1x6 bricks for medium sized treads, and for huge treads - using hinges. I have seen at least one major oversized robot in lugnet robotics using plates with hinges between them (...) (19 years ago, 25-Jul-05, to lugnet.technic)
