makeing. If your makeing a 'SNAKE BOT' a robot that looks and acts just like
a snake, you can check out various places including Jim Taylors website. He
has some really neat, (non beam) snakes. For a BEAM 'SNAKE BOT' check out
Solarbotics, and look at the robot gallery under turbots and check out the
lamprey. For the Mark Tilden Style snakebot check out
http://www.solarbotics.com/images/hirez/Turbots/b24_2%20MWT%20snakebot.jpg
at solarbotics. It's a different type of robot, which has nothing really to
do with a snakes locomotion. It's a very neat robot, I've built two myself.
The trouble with them is, that it is very hard to aquire the right angle
gears nessesary for this type of robot.
dennison
does anybody have a good tutorial on how to make a snake robot? and also i
was wondering just how expensive how comlex and how many motors does it
take?
Any replies are welcome, even if you just have a small insignifigant fact
about these bots
thanks very much!
