Hi all<br /><br />Matt from MicroMagic systems (where they have really neat Hexapods!) has recently presented a monster hexapod, 2.8 metres high with a five meter working envelope and weighing in at just under two tonnes.<br /><br />From the author:<br /><span style="color: green"><span style="font-style: italic">&quot;This is definitely the largest hexapod we have built so far,&quot; says Micromagic founder and Mantis' chief designer Matt Denton.  &quot;This walking machine started as an idea back in 2007, we secured private funding in 2009 to start the project and - after three years of design, build and testing - the robot made a first successful test drive in the summer of 2012 at Bestival UK.&quot;</span></span><br /><br />The video of the Hexapod can be seen here:<br /><div class='bbmedia' data-url='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1h9Mw-s9mzI?version=3&amp;amp;hl=en_GB' style='margin: 1px; display: inline-block; vertical-align: bottom;'><div style='width: 200px; height: 40px; border: 1px solid #999; display: table-cell; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle; font: 10px/10px Verdana; color: #555; opacity: 0.5;'><a style='color: #105289; text-decoration: none;' href='http://phpbbex.com/' target='_blank'>phpBB</a> &#91;media&#93;</div><script>if (typeof bbmedia == 'undefined') { bbmedia = true; var e = document.createElement('script'); e.async = true; e.src = 'js/bbmedia.js'; var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(e, s); }</script></div><br /><br />Pedro.<p>Statistics: Posted by <a href="http://forum.robosavvy.com/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&amp;u=1061">PedroR</a> — Mon Apr 01, 2013 4:22 pm</p><hr />
