GuiliuG Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Hello everybody, i'm happy to feature my new creation basically called "platform" because i don't find a better name for it^^. It's very simple and actually i have nothing to say about it^^. You can find all the pictures on my gallery : My gallery Quote
Aqualize Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 (edited) Any photos of the underside of it? I can't see the PF remote receiver. Edit: nevermind: I should have read more closely and I would've seen the link to the gallery. I like wheels that can turn infinitely. I recently build a terrain vehicle ("trail truck but no truck") but I had problems with the steering getting out of synch (the gears weren't braced enough). Edited February 21, 2011 by Aqualize Quote
allanp Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 That's awesome, it looks like something in a James Cameron movie. Nothing in particular just the cool/industrial/sci-fi look it has. A friend of mine asked me to build something very similar using NXT motors and small enough to fit in a standard maze used for micromouse competitions. Here's what I came up with: http://www.rwnlabs.co.uk/drupal/ Quote
efferman Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 hm, its nice and reminds me to something with four legs i think turntables are simply the easiest way to realize omnidirectional steering. but sometimes the easiest things are the most elegant things Quote

Take a few liftarms and make something cool with simple parts. I would love to see how the legs works, transforming rotary power into a slow paced leg. Edit: After watching the video in 720p HD I think I understand how the legs works. And it's so beautiful! Only one 24t gear and a worm gear. I thought it would require more things. The rest is just a matter of geometry. Edited February 21, 2011 by Aqualize Quote
efferman Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 thanks. if you want to see some pics, klick the picture Quote
