I’ve designed the locomotion platform for a large hybrid biped I am calling Mega Scout. I just have not designed the mounting for a Scout torso yet. You can see the beginnings of my efforts up to and including a picture of the platform with both legs attached in a thread called H…

I’d like to do that, but my computer is not fast enough and doesn’t have enough memory to allow me to position the model the way I want to. I would have Mega Scout go into a full crouch, lean towards the opposite leg, use the multipod mode to rotate the stepping leg forward, an…

Just in case I need them, I did design two new 2DOF wide footpad feet for Mega Scout. They attach to the bot a bit differently, but that is an easy adjustment to make. Right Foot: http://www.thedynaplex.org/robotics/bipeds/megascout/img/foot-wide-right-side.jpg Left Foot: h…

Heck if it doesn’t work at all you can dissassemble it and build 17 other robots with the parts. :open_mouth:

Ha ha, yes, perhaps that would work if Mega Scout isn’t successful.. :stuck_out_tongue: Hey, I have reduced the parts count for Mega Scout significantly since my first design. :smiley: Of course, if I have to use the wider feet, that will add some of the weight I saved back onto…

your out of control!! :imp: Youve gone DOF crazy!! :smiling_imp: But your ideas are brilliant! :smiley:

Since I designed a new wide foot, I figured I may as well see how it looks on Mega Scout. I have to use a slightly different method to attach the wide foot to Mega Scout. This new wide foot throws everything out of whack from what it was with the other foot. The entire mechanic…

ahh, what was once fuzzy is not clear!

since ur cad,in away figureout how i can make some feet like my macaw,there about as allpurpose as anthing iv,e seen, PS if you build that bot Jims gonna retire 8)

I would not have any idea how to do what you want, sorry. I use all pre-made parts and only design new ones when I have to fix something or need another part. Ha ha, Jim wouldn’t retire. He might faint if I manage to actually build Mega Scout and make it walk without falling …
