Small Walking Object

Just a short little clip of a 3/4 completed walking object. Works like Theo Jansen's kinetic sculptures.

get it to work before you make a video

Sorry, didn't realize that this was your disk space I was using.

[Bijumaro]

i say it´s totally wrong!

[fookthefrench]

You're right! I didn't build it with enough precision for it to ever work. Pretty good for an afternoon I'd say!

dude this is so lame

[fookthefrench]

Thanks for watching!

[Unrealshade]

haha i love your replys to that dooshbags :D

[ItsThatScienceKid]

@fookthefrench Didn't appear to have an issues to me. Seems like it would walk fine

[specallez]

What is it made from ?

[danieldaniel9000]

what did you use to make this?

[QuaziGNRLNose]

4 if you only want it to walk straight is good, but for the wheels to not need syncing (constant ground contact, what you need for turning), you need 12 legs

That's not what I meant, but yeah I deserved that

Cheers

I built a version in Geometer's Sketchpad after seeing that on a youtube video, with variable parameters for the width of the driving cog/crankshaft, spacing of the 'hips', and length of the 'bones' coming from the hip.

It's pretty finnicky to even get a gait going, so good job!

I think you did it right. You just need more legs. It's not working because it was designed to work with multiple legs, I would say at least six. Otherwise, it looks like you got the proportions and design right.
