Solar powered walking robot III

From http://josepino.com - An improved version of my "solar-powered four-legged all-terrain walking robot" can walk using four legs. Fasters and better movements. No RCX, no NTX or sensors used, Just gears, one motor and solar power.

@EpicDorky

Indeed.

It just doesnt wanna give up! :) Did you try the lego solar cell?

[JosePino]

No, I was not able to get the Lego Solar Cell. Quite expensive, so I did cut one lego wire and attached it to a regular solar cell.

Have you tried using the worm gear to transfer the power from the motor to the leg gears. It' might give you more torque and a more fluid motion.

[JosePino]

I did try with the gear worm with previous "walker" versions, but I don't like to use it as erodes the gears more than the regular ones. I do use the worm gear for low-torque applications.

"dangerous area of CD cases", never expected to see that sentence :D

How did you design that gait? Software simulation or lots of experiments?
