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…

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:

Ha ha and thanks! Actually, the wide feet don’t add any additional DOF to the leg. They just replace the existing feet. :stuck_out_tongue: :smiley: 8-Dale

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…

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 …

Here are the first pictures of Mega Scout v3.0 with the new wide feet. I actually like this configuration and this may become the final version of Mega Scout that I build. The legs are still 8DOF, so the number of servos required is the same. Mega Scout v3.0 (Front): http://www…

I orders some brackets for Mega Scout v3.0 today. :smiley: These brackets, plus some from Junior, will get the legs build as far down as the dual inline brackets. Next month I will have a few servos to start making it move a bit. :smiley: 8-Dale
