they are COTS, everyone starts with atleast 1

actually, if you go through the right channels( AKA china) you can get tons dirt cheap, and as for custom ciruts, the curcutry is already there

The thing is that the single "vendor" you...um...acquired is out after one leg, because the second would be a different part similar to how right and left window motors are different. Although if we want to settle this once and for all I say we consult the FIRST Q&A. I don't think anyone has asked this yet.

Re: Using a body part for a kicker?

You guys are going in the wrong direction. A kangaroo leg will give you more kick than a human leg. Try contacting the zoo in your area, they sometimes have spare legs to donate. That's how I got one for my Battle-Bot last year.

Re: Using a body part for a kicker?

The real question here is about how hard it would be to convince an inspector that the stimulated muscles are not acting as a solenoid actuator. Any inspectors care to conjecture?

Re: Using a body part for a kicker?

I hope this isn't going to be my leg.

By the way, you would never get through med school if anyone "saw" this.

A severed leg may be illegal but you might use one just for kicks

I know of a few firsters who would give their right leg for a good kicker

Re: Using a body part for a kicker?

hmmm...it would probably be legal to use a severed leg. however, while you're using a severed leg, you might want to also cut the calf muscles short, so you could at the same time, theoretically increase the jumping capabilities of said leg. i wonder what Jigsaw would have to say...
