 | | Pneumatic "One Leg at a Time" Robot Circuit —Mark Bellis
|
| | | A while ago I saw an electric robot on TV that had 6 legs in 2 rows of 3 and moved one leg at a time forwards (lift, forward, down), then all back together. I thought this is an ideal application for Lego pneumatics. I don't still have it built, but (...) (19 years ago, 13-Sep-05, to lugnet.technic)

| | | | (...) Hi Mark, Now I know what to build next..... a four legged walker that lifts one leg at a time. On paper it looks like I can get one made for 1+2n pistons and 2+4n switches. This assumes that legs mechanically lock when weight bearing. I don't (...) (19 years ago, 13-Sep-05, to lugnet.technic)

I don't quite understand why you (...) (19 years ago, 13-Sep-05, to lugnet.technic)

Not many efficient ones, but it very much depends on the type of logic, whether it's differential (a pressure hose and a leak hose to a cylinder) or single (a few switches daisy-chained for an "all legs up" condition) If anyone were to patent (...)
