Cutting in here but has anyone ever thought of a whip like weapon with a sharp barb on the end. Maybe not so effective against metal armor but could possibly disable some weapon systems or drive systems.
I would expect that a whiping/springing/good golf swing type of ax action would make it far more effective than the basic arc that seems to be used.Originally Posted by firefly1
Also more damage resistant.
Also I have been thinking of using a walker. The thinking has been done for 2 weeks or so in intensity. My conclusion is that I can replace my wheels with 2 sets of 3 legs for shuffle bot using 32 moving parts at 10kmh if I am very lucky and somehow sort out the wear and over heating that these parts will get as they move against each other.
So wheels it is. If the TV makers want a walker then let them make one as a house robot and we can see how it should be done.
I remember seeing these toy insects on the apprentice programme a few years ago and I was quite impressed, they moved at quite a speed for thier size and I believe they worked by just vibrating - I'm thinking if you scalled it up to a heavy and could control the direction it would brilliant-the basics could be a compact whacker plate set in a frame with wooden or
metal legs around - could be vibrated by a camshaft again-feelers could come out to change direction-an insect head
with a flipping tongue to finish the look-different yes
