Centi (#4) - Design Video

Centipede!

I have published a video of the initial design and 3D Printed "drafts" of the Centipede leg mechanism.  You can find the video below on my YouTube channel.



From a design perspective, the drafts have served their purpose. It is now a good time to take what we have learned and start a new draft.  

I like the concept of making each leg of the Centipede to be a "module" that can be replicated and connected together.  I am also realizing that I don't care much for the 'rectangular' frame that was in the drafts.  The legs may need to be moved around.  Honestly, the rectangles do not seem to match the aesthetic of an bio-inspired robot.

Here is my new concept that I am working on ...
