That little mechanism is my first attemp to make a walking robot. Here you can see what it can do:
2x
|
\/
Inability to climb inclined surfaces, friction between feet and surface and slow/laggy turn are the only problems it has.
Controls
Pitch - move forward/backwards
Roll - turn left/right (you need to move backwards or forward to turn)
Throttle - height above surface

@Charodey Look into using sin and cos waves, used them on a similar style of walker and they work quite well, walker not so much (dog walkers require a lot of tuning and perfect designing if you don’t want them to bounce around)

@Jerba i recommend to use it with “high” physics frequency, it will work maybe just a little bit smoother, but i think the problem is caused by the program itself.
I heard that “funk” expressions work really fast, so i will use them in vizzy programs (so mechanisms such as walker-prototype will walk smoother) but that will take some time -

What physics did you use for this? When I run it, the whole movement is jittery instead of smooth. Also, from what I’ve done mech wise, the bigger it is the better. Juno has weird part/ground collision physics and really likes to launch smaller things when they drag on the ground

Good progress. We may soon see one of those giant Star wars walkers around here
I like it 👌👍
