Hello everyone, this is not a Walkerbot Showcase. Rather, I’m asking if in the current robots being able to push other robots meta, a heavy, not wheeled bot would be viable. The design in my head is something similar to Chomp from s5 of battle bots but less complicated. Without the wheels, you’re ba…

Firstly, how fast do you intend the walking mechanism to be? Because if the robot is too slow, faster teams can just zoom around it. Also why a DR4B for the lift? A 4 bar would work just fine for offloading, and without a ring intake the height a DR4B gets is pretty much useless. Also, I bet you cou…

What an extraordinary idea. I don’t know what to say.

I don’t have much experience with walkers but I would love to see how much power it would have and if it could successfully counter the turtling strat by dragging the other bot. It would also be interesting to see how well it could climb the platform. So if anyone has the time please do build it, I’…

Continuing on the Battlebots analogy, Chomp got a bonus of 250 extra pounds to play with, so it was a 500 pound bot against a 250 pound bot. It also went 1-3 with that bonus. I don’t care about your design; without any sort of bonus for walker bots, that isn’t feasible. If you want to go down that …

The reason I would not program it with the sticks for ‘drive’ is because I’m to dumb to make it not lock itself up in an endless loop of being told to execute the start of the command. The DQ’s I talked about are rather than specific design, referring to reasons that other teams would not want to pu…

I based the movement and shape roughly off Chomp, nothing else. Also, Chomp has always been about advancing the sport, not winning.

Another reason I made this post is because the last time anyone has made a vex walker, and shown proof of its existence to the internet, from what I can find, is 2014 with this YouTube video VEX Walker - YouTube The only other one I found is a series of videos in 2008 by Innovation First (channel h…

Cool! I likely didn’t find this because I google and bing search ‘Vex Walking Robot’. I’m glad to see people are still trying to create walkers. Is your video unlisted? It should have showed up from the keywords in my search.

It would be really cool to try and build a walking robot, but I don’t think it would be at all competitively viable.

It’s not mine, @Sylvie made it a while ago.
