What was the point of that? Either one of us has blocked the other, or you just wrote Ignored Content for no reason. And based on the fact that I can see your other messages, I’m inclined to think the latter. What was the point of your message?
Well, joke’s on him…
Anyways… How is your jumping drive coming along Taran?
I took a break from that to work on a differential hood tutorial, but I have the design nailed down.
If you knew me in person, you would realize that I forget everything, and literally everything. I have the memory of a goldfish at times, where if I set an alarm I would forget the reason why I set said alarm. Also I would forget Sundays are for church, and sometimes even forget to send a message to someone if I don’t respond immediately. I have a tendency to dislike noise, and even words can cause noise for me, so I may block people even if they cause no harm. Please dont take this as I blocked you for any bad reason.
Hey Taran, really cool build!
Just a question, do you think your robot could go up/down an incline?
Refer to this for your answer @Trip…
I can see it slipping a bit on the hard wood, how well does this work on an actually tile field, is it actually mobile(obliged really slow)?
This thing is cool, it looks like a spider!
This is quite interesting.
Can’t wait to see every team with a walking robot next season!
Oh, in case anyone cares, I was thinking of making a mark. 2 of this. I determined that it would probably need to have 6 legs rather than 4 for it to works properly, and the sides would need to be linked together in some way.
Have 8 legs to make it a spider. Or just have 6 and make it a bug of some kind.
You could always do something like this, although this is for IQ.
(Its the iQuadruped one found down on the page.)
Yes, but that has an issue. It isn’t powered by a mechanical linkage, it’s powered by having multiple motors. That’s cheating.

@technik3k really gonna leave me hanging like that. I see how it is…
I liked that you finally gave us the proper linkage names ![]()
Jansen linkage animation:

Klann linkage animation:

The Klann linkage provides many of the benefits of more advanced walking vehicles without some of their limitations. It can step over curbs, climb stairs, or travel into areas that are currently not accessible with wheels but does not require microprocessor control or multitudes of actuator mechanisms. It fits into the technological space between these walking devices and axle-driven wheels.
Where exactly do y’all learn all this stuff?
My mind’s kinda imploding right now
The Wikipedia School of Advanced Learning
