Re: A Modern-Day DaVinci Genius?

[BlocklandGamer]

i like how it drags the NXT around, sorta

[blqkvo]

if only Da Vinci had Lego Mindstorm or Mechano

[pyromaanisi]

theo jonsen or someone doesn't use electricity he uses wind! :D

unfortunately, when using legos, the linkage ratios are limited unless you make it insanely large or complex. Good job for getting it to work as well as it does

[wautur]

great works. keep it up.

[quietthomas]

Now build one that can loose 2 legs and keep going. Jansen is interesting BECAUSE of the philosophies behind his work - not in spite of them. Artificial evolution, mass redundancy, survival of the best fit ect...

Your creation is fine, wonderful - it just needs some philosophy now!

[biowerks]

Well put.

[72fr250]

offset the spokes so the legs don't rise at the same time

[pinworms70]

When I seen the title, I admit I was intrigued...When i saw the video, I realized it was a joke. I know kids that make the same shit out of legos. Lame.

[bling6]

the title was probably reffering to the guy in his comment, not to himself for making this... check out the guy in the comment, u COULD say he is what the title suggest, because he makes giant machines, like a hundred foot long, move using wind ect.

[werandomnize]

This is lego.

[TheSweetwaterJones]

As a huge fan of Janson, I think I can say you succeeded more admirably than you think

[sisisisi1111]

*Jansen!

[animespreader]

pretty sick!

Now make one powered by wind....=P

[WaxPatches1987]

good job buddy. Keep up the clever stuff.

[sourabhdas1234]

attach the NXT somewhere on top

[szalonegacie]

theo jansen?

[djwaugust]

i dig your moves man. simple, but it fuckin works. add some knees on that beast and you've got yerself somethin

[GeorgiaIrakli]

IS it LEGO!!!!!!!!!

[Thegibolin]

Great, love it ! Keep being inspired and sharing it. Thanks for this!

[Misakichifan]

Nice that you were inspired to make that. I wouldn't have gone and made that step. That was not bad.

[Raizdecimal]

LOl DaVinci? Please. A bit much less.

[JuniorWebMaster]

lol, parabéns pela invenção

[Airbusftw]

The power of servo motors XD!

[Isverybored]

...so..this isnt very hard to make at all..

[shinleg]

lol very cute

[momaxoximomilolianon]

huh there are some what better engeneers and thinkers in the world then that.. but yea smart!

But no da vinchi

[54spiritedwill54]

LOL! Cute

[azerrlight]

nice link work but not very practical , it works tohugh , nice job if some 1 asked me to build a walker it wouldent be as technical as tht =D

[paulie1982]

Check out my video on da Vinci and see if you stack up

[robgonma]

actually looks pretty good comparing with theo's sculptures.. good job man

[XxxXEmoPrinzessXxxX]

Those are sold in kits,all you gotta do is put it together,There may be a little custom work involved, but its a model that can be purchased at most hobby shops and made at home,you can also buy individual parts and add your own thought.Still and all,that robot is way freaking cool.

[friedcheesyfeet]

thats rlly cool

make it a thubs down but it kinda looks silly the motor coputer fingy being dragged behind but its still really good!

[isketch86]

it's cool, but it steer!

[gasuelbe]

Aaah! Imperial walkers!!

[evrimv]

mindstorms never looked nice to eye. they are useful but ugly stuff.

[jozeto]

suck, sorry

[frogsquirr3l]

naggers, make your own and post it. you dont know how difficult it is until you tried it. I did but my lego is just enough for two legs, so i had to make a semi-walker.

[antonacid]

Everything in this guys house is white, and the robot is white too. shit a clean white freak!

[traceycollier]

gotta start somewhere.....

[stin8442]

give me a break....WHACK!!!

[duncsss]

Nice video!! When are you making your own butler?? And my butler?

Greetzz from Nederland

[RubiksCubeFreak]

Sorry to say, but it's lame.

[GordonCSA]

You should have it carrying its control computer, instead of dragging it. Other that I like it. :)

[pieceofit656]

I can do that. Davinci? I think not.

[criticpaintballer]

that things sick id make it go get me stuff

[9449154]

lmfao! that is so funny! It rox, i like the way i gives the "haunted horsy with a dragging head" effect.

[DiAUXDrummer]

Awesome man! I love how you've got this to work, so simple, yet so brilliant.

[kiwiman40]

yea skeleton horse that drags its head

[jarre135]

thats sick its like a skelleton horsey......

[lucidtiger76]

LOL!  Cute

[ClubEdTube]

nice work :)

[delvoneu]

Very good...NOT.

[oscarbranson]

rubbish.

[armord2tehcore]

someone understands

[tleet59]

But how do you stop it?

[tangoinasia]

This is a brilliand example of engineering + art. But as usually the once that don't anderstand it calim it as a funny toy. Y don't U call it a UFO!

[Sithiswhitehand]

cuz its not flying.. it's walking..

UFO = unidentified flying object

..its a UWO!

[armord2tehcore]

to be honest I don't think its that brilliant, I did these kinds of things when I was in grade school, they take about ten minutes to complete, it isn't an engineering marvel or really a work of art its as you put, a funny toy

[cumesoftware]

So. Tell my why nobody had such a "simple" idea before?

I mean, Theo Jansen's idea is not simple. I think it is very hard to get. The design is simple, but in its simplicity resides the genius. The proportions of the original design are beautiful.

[cumesoftware]

To be honest, I think not even the most beautiful, detailed and biggest palace would impress you.

[Necrokutan]

I believe he was referring to the lego model, Theo Jansen's sculptures are amazing works of art, but this simplistic version isn't really that amazing (sorry to the author, but it isn't). This version doesn't remind me of his sculptures at all other than the fact that it walks.

[BlindDogFulton]

Where did you get those kinds of lego kits? These modern toy stores no longer carry the un-PC constrictive toys.

[armord2tehcore]

if you can, get your hands on k'nex, thats what this lego was based off of, its a rip off

[DybbukAtroxic]

that is pretty funny...nice video response. :) You should add some music to the end like they did with the real video. :) Would make it that much better.

[wildmason]

wow!

[kebakent]

Nice =)

[asp2021]

Brilliant!

[FelixSchroeder]

Very Good!!!

[Ratboy8888]

If you add some uberstix to that mix u can make it more fluid...but it's very cool as is!!!

[legomanshotu]

lolz its pulling the NXT brick like a wagon ROFL

[captainmidas]

elegant

[madmanis12345]

dang man amazing

[libelle156]

what sort of lego? looks great

[sulomo]

that is one awesome mechanism. I can't think of that myself. can you post building instructions somewhere?

[marjan15]

Extremely smart and cool :)

[arcadezz]

lol
