(...) Will this be needed if we always have at least four feet locked into weight bearing state at a time? I've incorporated your folding/locking table leg into this walker. You will want touch sensors to avoid falling off the table though I guess. (...) (19 years ago, 31-Jul-05, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

(...) Will it be necessary to switch anything at a specific time? For example, if SSC is walking forward, and it takes 3/4 of a step, then levers are flipped to make it turn (which would be reversing the legs on one side), to complete the "current" (...)

(...) I should say it would look more 'natural'. How easy will it be to install a normally closed (while the foot is in the air) touch sensor in the foot? Will the feet be required to do much rotating and/or sliding while taking a step? (I assume it (...) (19 years ago, 1-Aug-05, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

I have not finished the feet, but I was planning on providing an ankle that rotates about the Y axis, so that foot rotation is limited. A certain amount of sliding is expected. (...)
