It's a bit puzzling why you say you posted the motions on your site, and that they can be downloaded from your site, when actually you linked to I-Wei's site (as other sites will also, probably), and the motions are downloaded directly from his site. But it's nice of you to provide the link all the same.

The reason I posted a link rather than a file is becuse if for any reason he no longer wants them distributed he has control over his files. He was nice enough to let me make them available on my page so its the least I could do.

It works for me

Try this with the 2HV BOW motion.
You have to use both convert functions in order to work.

works yes

but I thought I smoked a servo trying some converted moves, channel 16 was dead!

Turns out channel 16 was not set to servo after the conversion

I messed around with them a little bit and it seems some servos need to be reversed or something. When I get some free time I will try and sort it out and have some answers, or a universal version for the 1hv and 2hv.

I just thought it was worth mentioning as I had a few email conversations with I-Wei about these files and he wanted to make sure I knew that they were a "work in progress" and not finished files which can simply be uploaded to a kondo bot for instant moves. This was his reason for not posting them before.

So for anyone thinking about downloading them - PLEASE NOTE YOU WILL NEED TO WORK ON THESE FILES.

Don't come back and flame I-Wei because they don't work straight away.

This is because they were written for the 2HV and they are also quite specific to I-Wei's 'bot. The motions work by using instability so see them as a starting point for your own work.

I can only post what I-Wei gave me. Any questions about his files you will have to ask him.

I've been hoping that I-Wei would put in an appearance on this thread. I wouldn't mind hearing his thoughts about his motions as compared to the standard motions from Kondo that Droid Works linked to. Also, we could give him some shameless flattery followed by begging.

Um... i would also like to say these motions are not the crabfu ones..... they are the standard kondo ones. crabfu motions are a lot more human like, but from what ive heard they are not all that stable (watch the videos and you will see a harness is always in use).
Oh and by the way i found that comment funny wintermute ive used it before!

Hmmmm... that's disappointing. (Droidy old boy, now maybe you'll realize that robotics and crack pipes are a bad combination.)

First of all I got the walking gait from knodo and It looks EXACTLY like the crab fu motion.

If it is not working for you then there is a problem on your end not mine. It works fine for me and you are the ONLY complaint out of 100's Of ppl.

Second slandering someone and insulting ppl is not what this site is here for. If you want to call ppl names and cause problems then go to some teen chat room.

Easy there, big fella! No offense was intended; it was all in good-natured fun. There's no reason to be so thin-skinned.

Hey chaps, just FYI, the motions on DroidWorks' link are NOT CrabFu's.

I had an email from I-Wei (CrabFu) yesterday and access to some of his previous working files - like the rest of us work, life and stuff have meant he's not got as far as he'd like with the motion files so at this point in time no genuine 1HV versions exist.

The files i now have are 'in progress' and need converting to 1Hv friendly servo mapping, then tweaking before they get close to being usable.

That said, once i've converted them they should be a great starting point.

The ones I-Wei shows in his youtube vid's demonstrate what can be done, but he goes on to say that the positions are prone to lots of falls as they are much more unstable - if you want more human like motions that's the pay off.

He also mentions that you need that very short power 'sweet spot' from the battery pack in order to supply the 'bot with enough amps, so run times are short.

Looks like we'll need Lipo's and bench power supplies.
