Here's next week's video, early for Patrons. This one goes out publicly on Tuesday 11th. It's the start of the Tripod journey - a bit like the miniDogs before I built openDog 2 & 3. Pretty sure it's Gyroscopic stabilisation next.

Tripod Robot - PREVIEW VERSION

Day of the Tripods was originally an HG Wells Novel written in around 1897. There have been many adaptations since including a film in 1953 and another remake featuring Tom Cruise in 2005, and many other TV series and other media. But can Tripods really walk? They only have three legs which means they have to stand on two legs while taking a step with the other leg.

The coolest tripod walking mechanism would be when the walking foot flips over the top of the other two. I don't think I've seen a real robot do that but maybe a video game (maybe Metal gear solid)
