Sloth Walker
Simple four legged beam walker concepts, with single core full rotation servo.
Final Sloth Walker on a stand. Optioning for a heavier motor and four AA's turned out to add way too much weight, so much that without the support it could barely hold itself up. It could not walk, but the mechanism is functioning, though not as great as I imagined.
The intended look for Sloth Walker.
Optioning for a heavier and longer motor as it had the perfect rotation speed, which imitates the sloth's slow movement, also resulted in the body becoming very wide. The original idea was to use a servo motor with horns attached, however I could not find a servo that works by itself (without an Arduino), so I made a foam one to compensate.
Linkages that hold the front and hind legs together, with the legs, which were glued together by separate bent paper clips, as one by itself was not long enough to compensate the width change.
