loved the fly by on one leg...

just a thought :idea: ...i agree with tempusmaster...the idea that the wheels should be angled...but probably to a larger angle...maybe 30 degrees
and to propel forward use the stock side-step move...
each push will send him sideways but he will come back on the other foot so over distance its straightish? :?: ?? :arrow: ??maybe???

anyway nice video

The trucks are adjustable, so they could in theory be loosened to allow the robot to lean into a turn. However in reality it probably isn't going to happen.
The skateboard deck is not shaped for flat robot feet and stability becomes a bigger issue than it has to be.

It's probably not the best way to go but it was 7$ at wal-mart, so i bought it on impulse as it looked cool and is about the right size.

love the video
the poles remind me of grass skiing...
wonder how inline skates would go?
i figure with ankle movement it should turn?
anyways keep up the good work
