camellia Posted March 29, 2018 (edited) Motor-brain Droid Brothers are: Xtra Large Motor - the eldest brother Large Motor - the second brother Medium Motor - the youngest brother Simple, but Ingenious. Ugly, but Close. A worm drive is a gear arrangement in which a worm (screw) meshes with a worm gear (aspur gear). A worm drive can reduce rotational speed or transmithigher torque. One of the major advantages of worm gear drive units are that they can transfer motion in 90 degrees. The gear ratio is: 1 to teeth of the worm wheel The direction of transmission is not reversible due to the greater friction involved between the worm and worm-wheel. Worm gear configurations in which the gear cannot drive the worm are called self-locking.

Oliver 79 Posted March 29, 2018 Clever mechanism. I like them a lot. It's nice to see something a bit different. If you took the wheels of, would they walk better? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you! If no wheel, it looks like more as a human. It will be bipedal. With wheels, the friction is low. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BusterHaus Posted March 29, 2018 Cute project, although they walk at the same speed as this guy: https://media.giphy.com/media/ToMjGpoFxSUTbWU1wkM/giphy.gif Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
camellia Posted March 29, 2018 You are right. They runs slowly due to the large gear ration. Besides, if 9V power is used, they are quicker and stronger. To change length of crankshaft and link rods, a little higher speed may also be gotten. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
