I do have a couple crazy ideas for a walking robot. A bi-ped to be exact.
I'm probally going to spend the summer prototyping it with k-nex, then 2x4's, and once i get it down ill have the team give me a hand with assembling it from 80-20.
Its do-able. Its just hard.
I mean sure, Honda might have spent x million dollars and a decade building their Asimo, but Junkyard wars can build things that work to an acceptable extent in 10 hours. I can settle for something more towards the latter end of the spectrum.
Plus, me, I'm not in FIRST to stack blue bins. Its an engineering competition, as well. Just think about the future applications of your FIRST expirence. Making the same base over and over or even worse, using the same one, isnt a learning expirence.
Thats my opinion anyway. My team did laugh the biped idea off pretty quick, but hey, eventually I wont be the Freshman anymore.....
