(...) Thanks Ross. Hopefully the outriggers will not give way. I used the diagonal outriggers to minimize the complexity of the crane mechanisms, but they may give way under the wieght. I hope it is as good as your designs! I just realized (...) (19 years ago, 2-Aug-05, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Hi Nathan, looking good! I wish I could be at Brickfest to see it. WRT balance, the answer is that cranes are very rarely in total balance. That is why they need such strong accurately machined turntables - the turntable is generally taking (...) (19 years ago, 2-Aug-05, to lugnet.technic)

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. (...)

(...) 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)
