Haha, that thing's awesome - needs more traction though. They should fabricate rubber feet for it, seems like it would move a bit faster and turn a bit better if they did something like that.

that is whicked. Obviously, that guy has a lot of spare time. Wonder what kind of engine he used....
Yeah, rubber feet would give him more traction. When it's turning most of the feet are just sliding on the ground.

Awesome though, that's for sure

Somehow I think something would break with rubber feet. There doesn't seem to be any "give" in the setup besides the feet.

Damn, mike, just rewatch what happens to him while he turns the thing.

It would be like two human sized vibrators chipping their teeth on each other.

I think he should have spent maybe 6 months on design and 3 months on the build instead of the other way around.
With all the money and time he put into it you think maybe the legs would actually be more functional and have more features than they do.
