The Sea Beast - a Knex Walker with 12 legs!
Loading...
Uploaded by Kairah89 on Feb 13, 2010
This beast has 12 legs driven by a motor in the center. The legs work the same as "strandbeest" by the kinetic sculptor Theo Jansen.

This is fantastic. The bio-mimicry really brings it to life. Looks like it would make a good back massager too. :)

@Kairah89 thanks, and ya, no one i have enough.

its rather hypnotic watching the legs move...
Do you have any other still shots of this walker ? I'd like to build my own.

Very impressive! I'd love to build a larger scale one at some point. Well done friend!

@Scerab Check the description for a link to my instructions and a part list. You will need 108 black hinge parts to make one with 12 legs. Or 72 for a walker with 8 legs.

Very cool mate, well done. It would scare the crap out of my cat!

Yeah, with Theo Jansen's construction of the legs, the body of the robot barely goes up/down if you implement enough legs, that's why the robot needs just a little power.
The reason this one is even cooler then all the others is caus it's built in theme and realy looks good.

The real one goes even less up/down. Because with knex you can only make the axle in 4 different angles. But it still works great :)
