Subject: [alt-beam] Re: Turning a walker
You do pose a valid point there. Power consumption is
a big issue with BEAM stuff. I really haven't seen
any Bigger BEAM bots (besides from tilden's work).
I'm currently working on a larger walker platform,
which will be partially controlled by BEAM tech.
Power consumption rates in the 30 amp range. Anyway,
I'll have to make a small 6 leg BEAM walker, wouldn't
be hard, considering that their are 6 nv's on a
Microcore.
