Jumping Walker
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.
V1:
Controls:
A/D = Walk forwards/back
W = Jump
V2:
Same Controls.

Re: Jumping Walker
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,

Re: Jumping Walker
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!
