Dutch_EE Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 Hi, i've seen many quadrupeds, trip-eds and octopeds, but I wonder how many bipeds have already been build out of lego Technic. I have seen one 'raptor' at Technicbricks, but that one uses Mindstorms. I wonder if it is possible to make a stable walking biped with PF-motors (and remote control). Quote
Sariel Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 It's actually fairly easy if you use a COG-shifting walker. There are dozens of those. A good example: Quote
Dutch_EE Posted July 5, 2011 Author Posted July 5, 2011 (edited) Any ideas how to control the direction ? Backwards and forwards looks easy, but how to make it turn the way you want without it toppling over ? I'm thinking about an hidden wheel inside the feet. Than it can turn when it is stationary, but how to turn it at speed ? Edited July 5, 2011 by Dutch_EE Quote
Silcantar Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 Most bipeds (humans included) steer by turning their ankles. Quote
