Walking Machine

This walking machine is based on a Thingiverse model (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:264726) but has its own unique design. The creator used various models such as ELENCO 2-IN-1 GEAR MOTOR ASSY MODEL# 21-130, SLDASM by Steve James, DC Motor 3V by Ricardo Barabas, and a 9 Volt Battery by Spencer Wright. These components were previously used in the Walking Robot Mechanism as well. The modeler expresses gratitude for the shared models, stating that they are very useful. They used Solidworks 2016 for modeling and Simlab Composer 6 Mechanical Edition for rendering. Frames were edited with Virtualdub and saved as AVI/X264 and BMP, then remuxed to MP4 using MyMP4BoxGui. Gifs were made with PhotoScape, and IrfanView was used for editing renders. The model is available in multiple formats including 3D-PDF, ZIM, SIMLAB, DAE, STEP, IGES, Parasolid, OBJ, SketchUp, 3DS, and Simlab Composer 6. The ZIM file can be viewed on iOS and Android devices with the free Simlab Viewer app.
