 Though, of course, if the old one you like is shot, then you can just beat your new one with a hammer until it works the way you want. - Kevin Sevcik [more] |

Re: Robo Mule
There is a very good reason that these robots have walking systems that are eerily similar to human legs. Boston Dynamics was founded by Marc Raibert. For those that don't reconize the name, Marc was the founder and principal investigator of the MIT Leg Lab, which conducted some of the earliest (and arguably best) research in walking dynamics. They sourced most of the significant early developments running and hopping robots. Boston Dynamics was started as an effort to begin to commercialize some of this early technology, and to develop marketable applications. Oh yeah, and Marc's stuff is also always just unbelievably cool (just wait until you see their compact rope ascender!).

Re: Robo Mule
Hmmmm a rope ascender! I am visualizing FRC2007: robots are gazing skyward, dreading a rope climb (just like old school gym class)....
