Massive Quadruped Robot

Hi everyone, you should check this out, it’s insane!

3DOF legs. New kit coming from LM in near future, order early!

I see that this kit will use hydraulic linear actuators instead of servos. Can they be controlled from a BotBoard II or SSC-32, or will I have to get something different?

Also, if the “driver” in this video is the 1/2 inch scale figure that Robot Dude previously claimed to be seeking, I need several for my G-Scale railroad. It seems to be a fully articulated humanoid robot in its own right. It is inhumanly fast, but there must be a software way to slow it down.

Thanks for letting us all know about this. Should we really order now, or wait to win one in a LM Product Giveaway?

Might want to wait 'till April 1.

I suspect they’ll use a fluidic computer.

Scale people will be provided!

I suspect I’ll win one!

Who needs a car when you can have this! :mrgreen:

And I’ve also found a giant hexapod as well!

This type of hex uses the same mechanic studied by Theo Jansen !
Go to look on you tube his sculptures on the beach!
That type of mechanics is very simple if U compare it on a our hex
