Here is an image of the new reverse knee legs that will be available late December or early January. Lynx209 and Scout will be looking good in 2006! :smiley:

Image is not showing. Main site down?

Unfortunately. :cry: We’re working on it right now… Sorry!

Ahh! I want to see the leg! :frowning:

Lol, this is torture.
:laughing:

I have tried to get on the main site and for some reason my computer can’t find the server. What’s the problem? I can’t plot any devious plots to take over the world.

Very cool pic of the aluminum leg. This is going to be an exciting year!

Thanks for the update Jim.

By the way, try not to break the internet next time. :laughing:

Here is another view with the Lynx209 Torso attached.

Nice… It looks like a one legged hopper! :laughing:

Here is a complete view of the Lynx209 robot.

6 DOF legs! All aluminum construction with ball bearings! It’s a class act. :smiley: It weighs 2.4lbs without batteries. I think this would be an excellent afordable walker if it were built with 5475 servos and had the power and serial comms tethered. Just another way to do it I guess. :stuck_out_tongue:

Where can we see a video of this thing in action? :open_mouth:

14

Jim?? did this ever get any further in progress lol , i see it dated at Feb 5 2006, was any code ever generated for 6dof if so would love to see it. i have one and would love to get it walking ty. btw i am using H5990t all 12 of them

The best place to look for reverse knee biped code would be KÃ¥res biped project. We will likely develop the code without the weight shifting capability, but not sure how far we will get.

All aluminum legs? What did it have before?

Is nice, 'tho!

I believe the earlier LM products used Lexan quite a bit… The legs were actually made of Lexan. There’s a demo video on the .com site somewhere, where the scout is shown walking…

I personally really like a mixture of Lexan and Aluminum, I think Jim mentioned a long time ago that the Lexans tended to flex more. But that’s the precise reason I like Lexan, is that it has memory so it’s more forgiving when working on your bot…

The only thing I don’t like about Lexan is peeling the protective layer off it, but once you do peel that layer off, it’s nice and shiny! :smiley:
