The first vid sucks. 50s the same movements is silly.

Why don’t either of the larger hexapods move very fast? Is it because of the speed/power of the servos or something? They move so smoothly and that second one (based on the ant) has such articulated movements that I was awestruck when I saw it, but they move at a snail’s pace. Just wondering if anyone knows what’s stopping the designer from making these move at a faster speed.

The Phoenix was developed by a forum member “zenta” on lyncmotion.net forums. The people in the multi-leg section are true geniuses. Sorry if I don’t mention all you guys.

Anways, this was Zenta’s recent creation, a ant inspired bot. Oh! the IK

That thing is scary! It looks nice and fluid but sure walks with a thump.

This is incredible!

The movements are very realistic, but you need to put more speed on it.

That is creepy. By far, the most realistic/fluid arachnoid/crab movement I’ve yet seen in a robot.

I’d swear that thing was alive, if I couldn’t see the wires & servos. That is really extremely impressive movement ability the thing has!

Now to load it with acid needles, and send them after tom selek! Bwahahaha!
