Pretty nice implementation of my old design. You can even make it walk more than twice faster, with bigger steps and a different programmation, overlapping the two movements (turning the feet while the head is still tilting). Looks more natural as well. I should still have the program somewhere ...
Really cool walker. One of the fastest on youtube? Would it be possible to combine the weight displacement bit with a backward bending knee (you can probably guess where I'm going with this)
You would lose the real beauty of the robot (if doable) : it can be made using only pieces from the original RIS 2.0 kit box, without additional bits.
he's got a point, i mean i can see how the same mechanism that makes the leg move fall over although a temporary solution is to make a free-moving foot as to take away some of that displacement. just an idea so don't use that thing while testing out my idea, use a simpler prototype
A "simple" way to make it more stable is to program the tilting movement to slow down more and more just after having left the first bumper. Slows the pace a little bit, but the movement looks more controlled.
(Oups, my replies to different posts went all to the top of the thread ... hope that it doesn't lead to any misunderstandings)

neato, are the wheels on top for extra balance?

no. they provide additional weight in the top, which makes the head tumble more easily.

That animal looks really sick. Better euthanize it quick.

Wish I came up with that in my youth. Love it! gonna watch the rest of you're videos tomorrow...

ahahaha! Truly amazing :). But wouldn't it be more er.. stable(?) to have the weight on a track that simply slides side to side like a hip?

That idea is now on my (long) to-do-list ;-)

More stable, but way slower.
