this is my latest creation, a pneumatic snake :) insprired by the creations
on this website

my snake uses a simpel pneumatic schema. just 3 groups of 2 pistons when you
numbering the pistons from 1 to 6 from head to tail number 1 and 4 are
linked together 2 and 5, 3 and 6

whan 1 is going left 4 is going right by 2 and 5, 3 and 6 also.

whan 1 is left and 4 is right it makes 2 go left and 5 go right,
whan 2 is left and 5 is right it makes 3 go left and 6 go right,
whan 3 is left and 6 is right it makes 1 go right and 3 go left,
whan 1 is right and 4 is left it makes 2 go right and 4 go left,
whan 2 is right and 4 is left it makes 3 go right and 6 go left,
and whan 3 is right and 6 is left it makes 1 go left and 4 go right again.

forward realy fast.

it got lead on his frond wheel so the wheel get more grap at the surface,
lead on the tail shall make it even more efficient but i don't have 2
brick's of lead :)

Hi Sigurd,
  While I rarely build with wheels, I admire your snake a lot.  Elegant
simplicity!

  Congratulations!
Kevin

thanks kevin :)

i don't uses wheels in much of my creations to (only in the leg sturcture like
in my quad 343), but it gives the snake smooth, natural and fast movement. so i
thougt it would be time to uses them :)
