The length of stride with the feet almost touching is awesome!

Great observation, one that only a fellow self-torturing walker builder would see, lol. It also means it needs flat ground, so no walking in streams with rocky bottoms like your 6-bar!

hmmmmmmmmm I'm interested in this mech, it's very clean. Walking machines are certainly a while new game for me, and I love seeing what you lot have done! 👍🍺🇬🇧

Very smooth passive walking and turning.
@diywalkers78983 жыл бұрын
Ha, only another self-torturing builder of walkers would pick up on the detail that allowing the legs of walk passively means the legs on the outside of a turn can stride faster, somewhat like a car's differential, resulting in smoother turns!

This gait is really great !

Thanks Oracid1! It doesn't step high unfortunately, but it does have consistent footspeed, which makes it a good candidate for walking passively (being pushed/pulled)

@@diywalkers7898 I always use 5 bars, but I am thinking that if I use a servo arm as your 4 bars Crank and an other servo arm as Rocker, it could work. One of your 4 bars don't move. I call this bar g, as "ground". What about if g=0 ? That what I use, in my 5 bars g=0. I explain it here, kzbin.info/www/bejne/epTQeYCOedd8pJI at 1'07".

How about that stride!
@diywalkers78983 жыл бұрын
Your video explanation of g=0 is great, and powering your rocker with a servo arm is necessary with a 5-bar linkage with 2 DOFs?

@@oracid Wait - are you saying that you want to try reducing your 5-bar linkage (4 leg bars + frame) to a 4-bar linkage? While also powering the crank and the rocker? If so this could work but since only 1 DOF the rocker would be constrained to match the crank's movement perfectly, so nothing would be gained but complexity? Or do you mean something else? I love your 5-Bar BTW - if you ever want to write it up on our blog you are of course welcome!

Have you tried putting the steering in as a joint between the walker assembly and the motor? like an actual chariot.
@diywalkers78982 жыл бұрын
yes but it causes either the legs or the wheels to get pushed sideways

Hello again, i havent been able to build my walker since i used one of the lever pieces for a build, just an update ;)

nice! ive made a walker too! are the legs motorized or does the cart just push them?
@diywalkers78983 жыл бұрын
Hi Jackie Glade - if you want, paste a video link to your walker in this comment thread? This build's legs are not motorized - just pushed/pulled by the cart (called "passive walking" by some)
