Sandpaper on the feet sounds good. If you had hardwood it wouldnt be that bad to restore it. Have the hex sand it down good and add a few coats of oil
LOL
There must be an error, as I know the IK math involved in the H3 programs are dead on. Unfortunately it will be at least a month before Laurent works on the Pro version of PowerPod. Right now I can’t help because the program has been modified by users, and we just can’t sort out modified code. The fact that it walks ok forward, but not backwards or crabing left or right, I think there is another separate problem.
Holy cow! I just watched the vids and that thing is awesome! Bravo, evo.
My only bit of constructive criticism would be that the legs look perhaps a little short in relation to the size of the body. But that’s a really minor nitpick for such a glorious creation.
Any chance we can get some more videos, maybe moving faster in an open space? Or scaring the hell out of the neighborhood kiddies?
I still have to shoot some more video I’m just swamped with orders right now and I have to be sure I can get them all out in time.
did you start the tracks yet
I cut some new Polyethylene legs and feet and added load bearing springs to the joints to free up some power. It walks better now and I’ll get some pics and video up soon.
It’s looks as though mounting tracks under it won’t be possible. Had I build a normal sized hex with 5990 servos, it would have been an option but the huge size of the hex is alot of load on the servos as it is and these are as big as hobby servos get. Aside from using ServoCity reducers but the cost would be ridiculous.
hey hey, long time seeing you here evo
I just glanced over the forum here and noticed that one of you guys is / has made a large hexpod…I was entertaining the idea also but even bigger…4 foot high…
got the idea from the aracnobot on the pdj site…
would also like to know about how to get the smirf to run the botboard and the ssc-32…at the same time…
anybody want to jump in???
