There I've done it I have decided to combine the idea of a promotional fun robot with my intention of one day making a walker!! :uhoh: :uhoh:
Now all I have to do is design and build it. :shock: :shock: :shock:
My intention is to go for an eight legged arachnid type robot. I have seen one at the robot rumble and loved it.
Can anyone think of any other robots like that? :idea: :idea:
Mechadon:
How the heck did that thing work?? :shock:
Hi craig
I built ARAC 2 the spider bot you are refering to at the Brentwood rumble...
Get in touch and ill see if i can help ya..
Cheers Froggy :mrgreen:
Those walkers you have got to be impressed!!
The one I am making wont be a combat one as I don't think I could make one strong enough
The mechanism I hope to use will look like this.

that things got little wheels on its claws , If it had wheels which locked up going one way , so it could sort of shuffle about , does it still count as a walker ?
Can someone ask Edd Wallis to email me @ craigcolliass(at)dsl1.co.uk thanks.

Cheers Froggy :mrgreen:
this thing is just asking to be made into a heavy weight , theres some really in depth instructions there , and the thing uses wheel chair motors as is !!
