[TC21] Walking Truck

[Touc4nx]

After tinkering a lot and trying different ideas, I chose one.
It is going to be a truck, that can be converted into a 4 leg walking vehicle (like the ATAT)

I have a first prototype for the leg deployment mechanism :

• Truck Mode
  
• Walking mode :
  
  

For now it's still an early prototype, but the plans are to make something that is able to rise on his own leg. (I'm scared that the LA won't support the weight…)

Sounds cool!

I agree that it is concerning whether or not those linear actuators can take the weight, so I imagine you'll either need to keep the weight quite low or come up with something a bit stronger. I don't think it's anything that can't be solved though!

Cool idea!!!

If the LA are not strong enough, maybe you can use 2 in parallel... seems there would be enough space.
