If you could figure out how to interface a COTS prosthetic leg to a robot, you might have something…
That budget might disappear pretty quickly, though.
I would have a feeling the the current running cost for an arm or a leg would cost more than the cost per item limit that they allow too.
It wouldn’t be COTS - no one would be able to supply more than 2, so there wouldn’t be sufficient stock to qualify as a vendor.
Ok you win
OK, love the humor, now let’s see if we can turn this into an actual, usable idea.
Instead of stimulating rotting human muscle, try using “Muscle Wire”. This will take a bit of planning, but not impossible. Next you will just need bones and joints. Hmmm, what would YOU use??
You want a leg? I can get you a leg, believe me. There are ways, Dude.
I can get you a leg by 3 O’clock.
I still say no, cause one person can just keep grabbing people and there are billions of people out there so the supply is still there
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
Just put price per cell not as a hole, each cell cost i dont know like $0.00000000001
Here’s a leg, COTS, $20.93
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.
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.
Which “celebrity” was the model for that leg - Rosie O’Donnell? 
I’m surprised no one has :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: this thread yet.
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?
ghostbusters?
haha i think we have a few team members that would be glad to donate some limbs if you need some spare parts:P
I hope this isn’t going to be my leg. :ahh:
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
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…
Nice pun!
