Nice! you solved the problem of plastic bending when it takes a step by havign the axis lean. But can you also make it turn and support micro processor weight? I wish I had a video of one I built years ago 2ft tall that would find its way around the house with IR radar with light sensors and it was able to turn with tow turn tables at the ankles that would swing in opposite directions when it takes a step to turn it.
@3Camj My DINO X-1 and X-2 do turn, check them out if you haven't . I also have a video off the newest version off this robot, the DINO 6B, version 4.
Thanx man! One motor only. But I don't think this is the best one I have made, that has to be the DINO X-2 (check it out). I also have two versions of the DINO 6B that is working on the same principle as DINO 6A. I am now working on a version 4 of DINO 6B that should be more similar to the 6A, and I hope that one should be better than 6A.
DINO 6B is made, and I will post the video soon. Same principle as the 6A, but very fast and even more stable. Check allso out my Dino X-2 if you haven't.
Actually my best walkers do not use NXT (two of them not yet posted (DINO 6B/DINO X-2) But I recommend bying the NXT set anyway, the computer-brick is useful in many other type robots, but in a biped it gets very heavy. My best biped DINO X-2 use parts from the NXT set like the NXT motor combined with a regular batterybox to save weight. Its also more interesting to make a biped walk with only one motor. The NXT set is expensive, but you will learn a lot of programming, and building.
Thanx. I just needed some kit or something so i could learn the basics of robot building, and lego mindstorms NXT seems like a good start. Thanks for the response
It is. Not only does it teach engineering but it's also a great introduction to robotic programing. It originally uses graphical drag and drop program system but you can go 1 step up and use NXC, a type based programing guide.
My goal is not to make a asimo-type of robot with body and arms, but rather starwars inspired battle machines. But on DINO 6A weapons are not added, it was rather a prototype for the DINO 6B (soon to come) The DINO 6B was build to test the new superstiff legdesign I created.
Hey!, glad you like it. I dont have instructions to this one. This feetdesign is pretty complex and is not the most easy to figure out from watching the video. The most easy feetdesign I have used, is the one you can find on my Dino 7. In a few weeks i will post a new video of my DINO X-2, witch have a totally new feetdesign that I just invented. It is the best working design I have seen to date, and it can work with only one motor. I allso hope some day to make instructions for the X-2.
it is impossible to adjust both sides perfect, I have to choose a good side. The reason is the deathwalk(as we call it in Norwegian)that is created within all the gears. Greater speed when weightshifting could solve the problem. As soon the adaptor cable that connects the new PF motors to the old batteryboxes will be available, I will try to solve the problem. If this isn`t workin I have other ideas to solve the problem, but that means greater changes in design.
nice machine, but one question, wouldnt it be easier to connect a rod on the top with a weight, wich would just spin adjacent to the rest of the parts?
I see your point. I have tryed that in different forms, but not yet made a result that I am truly happy with. Good ideas often make new problems. This design is very delicat when it comes to add more weight on the body. It is allso sensitive to movement off weight. But now I have new ideas that I will trye out, but that have to wait to the winter, to nice to sit building lego in the summerheat:)

The best walking robot I've ever seen. Is it one motor ;o?

No scientist can make a robot that can balance okay, but u did!

Slow but very stable, and it is very solid looking. 5 stars.

Looks cool. Hey, I am interested in building robots, but at this point, I dont know the first thing about it. Is lego NXT a good way to get started?

can u teach me how to do it..
my final project is to develop a biped robot from lego..but i have no idea..
plzz..show me..

Interesting that when it leans right, its not so smooth as when it leans to the left. Is it off center? Very nicely done!
