4 legged walking robot

Hey guys and girls,

Here is my first attempt at building a 4 legged walking robot:

Still got a lot of fine tuning to do in the programming. Any tips would be great.

The plan is to make it climb up stairs (it can go 4 times higher than what is shown in the video).

I love it. It is walking bots like this that make you realize how awesome humans are. You have been showcasing some great robots here, keep 'em coming.

Looks great, how many degrees of freedom to you have for each joint.

I see the rack & pinion vertical
One rotary swivel joint
Are there more ?

Nice Work !

No that is all. I can only control 8 motors with the old PIC controllers. I would like to make another pivot on each leg and hook it up to my VEXPro but I don’t have enough sensors yet. I plan to make it in the next few months and program a genetic algorithm onto it.
