Jumping Walker

Postby Torn » Tue Oct 20, 2009 1:40 pm

Hi Everyone,

This is the prototype of a jumping walker that I have just started working on - it is currently very basic and quite unstable, but it jumps! I'm going to be working on it's stability and strength, as it is currently prone to toppling.

To help keep it from toppling, try putting it's center of gravity lower, you can do this with weights, or by making the mechanism shorter, the jumping system is rather simple, which isn't bad, so overall, a 6 or 7 out of ten,

Thanks! I've tried lowering the centre of gravity and strengthening the legs, and it seems to have made a difference in the second version!
