  • @dwyllie I am trying to re-create a wooden model of Theo Jansen walking mechanism. How important is it to have sets three legs? Would a small model, attached to a motor, become unbalanced with only two?

  • @WhatGypsyLike I do not think that you really need three pair of legs. I believe that you may check other concrete examples on YouTube. For instance, see

  • hey, do you know about sodaplay? It's just that I remade this structure on sodaconstructor (physics sim application) .

  • @Foxicola I do. It's great.

  • completely off topic but:

    what's the name of this song?

  • What are the dimensions that you used for this simulation?

  • Hammertime !

  • Woah, awesome!

  • Great Simulation!! Where did you get your proportions?? Please help :)

  • but what are the measurements ?

  • genius , when I saw theos machines, I was wondering about the inner workings, you have the answer, great work.

  • @dwyllie You need the 3 legs to replace the use of a wheel. It won't work otherwise.

  • I liked the way you had the loci of key points in the linkages showing - thank you for your effort!

  • perfect music

  • @Foxicola With two pairs i think is enough, you need to leave an space between...
