Solar-Powered Walking Robot

From www.josepino.com - A six-legged solar-powered bug bot.

This "robot" uses three legs to stand up while the other three are advancing. No RCX used, just one motor, gears and a 6-volts solar cell to provide power.
Fast as a turtle!

how did u get the panel to a mindstorms servo?

[JosePino]

I did cut the wire and attached directly to the motor.

Nice little robot but it is alittle too top heavy and the structure of its legs adds to its instability,though the speed is slowed down. Personally I would choose wheels given the terrain it is traversing over in the video.

hey you guy didn't see that it was walking on the surface of Mars?

[JosePino]

Actually, it is somewhere in my backyard. I was not able to pay millions of dollars to send it to Mars.

[JosePino]

I already figured that after many flip-flops, backflops and jumps. For that reason I had to improve the design and create the Solar powered walking robot III

it can walk for ever!! as long the sun doesn't blow up! XD

wundervoll. Ich denke, das wird die nächste Mars-Sonde an. Sie sehen bei der NASA.

Perhaps 4 pairs of legs will help. Try adding another set, it might be more stable.

nice

hmmm with some modification in the gears of the legs i could make that robot better but it is very good
