They need to build a duel hamster one so it could have tank style steering.

Re: THE LONG WALK!!

Not wanting to digress on Shane's Full Tilt Build thread, I thought I would keep the conversation on the Pilgrim thread.

The type of Dinosaur I was thinking was a mechanical (eight legged) Long necked and long tail type I think a Brontosaurs
I like the Idea Of having a mechanical version of a dinosaur that in truth didn't exist.

The major problem I have is trying to get the neck and tail movement so they curl up, down, left and right. I am planning to have a small head with movement rotate up, down, left and right, and the moth to open and close the eyes will be just lights.

I am trying out several ideas for the neck mechanism but think I will have to invent something.

Re: THE LONG WALK!!

try a cable and pulley system that pulls the tail and neck in place, have the actuators mounted in the neck and tail, they can be positioned to push against the lower vertebra to actuate the limbs, animate the head with servos

thats how I'd do it

Re: THE LONG WALK!!

Finished the feet at last! well nearly I looked at the robot and decided not to do the dinosaur I am thinking of two horses instead I don't like horses but the robot seems to fit them better.
