THE LONG WALK!!

[craig_colliass]

Watching your robot€™s weight seems to always be the problem. With my walker the weight seems to increase to a point where I will be drilling loads of holes soon if things don€™t level out, I was hoping to keep the robot to about 60Kg but it will be more like 75Kg I think. Plus the motors I bought will be too small so like you I am looking for a couple of wheelchair motors for the project soon.
Also because of the extra leg length on my type of design, I will have to stiffen them too (more weight) and so the long walk continues.

Hi Craig
Hope things aren€™t too bad at the moment. Were still praying for good news for you.
Any walker qualifies! And your one works that€™s more than I can say for my effort at the moment I have been sorting out St Hammer, Tron and Seraphim plus the new heavy.
So far I have four legs on the first pod and most of the bits to make up the second pod the idea is to finish the walker then fix all the problems I will have, like legs too flexible or the links not quite the right length motor not powerful enough this sort of thing.

Hope to see you soon


Craig

You know I was looking at this walker and thinking if I get the time I might make a Feather walker using this same mechanism, as I think it is about as robust as they come. The legs out of HDPE and the gears well in the body of the machine it would have to have a self righting system. Probably an electric Axe would be fun!!!

If you do build the feather walker then a hammer mechanism like this would be awesome:

That'll pack a nasty punch :twisted:
