Incredible design! I once thought about doing a build like this but after 2 days of brainstorming I imagined it to be a mess of rubbery hose, lack of airpressure and more bricklink packages than money could buy. I Applaud you for your perseverance through those hardships! It really looks great!

This is by far the most impressive and well made lego i have ever seen, great work

This is so cool, I wish I had enough lego pneumatic stuff to build something this epic. I'd love to rig something like this up to an RCX and have it roaming about. I used to have a robot ant that searched around for a ball then carried it in it's jaws, but it only had lame unjointed electric powered legs.

The sound of it, just amazing!

Simply brilliant! You deserve a medal or something :)

il y as pas a dire mec tu est vraiment un pro de la construction de mécanisme en (lego) encore bravo!!!

Incredible!!!!! something like in "Wild wild west" respect for genius

sweet rigging, works nicely. still it would be sweet if Lego added lots of robotics controllable pneumatic bricks and valves and such. and proper compressor :)

THIS. IS. AWESOME! Really, great job man, thanks for sharing! i am just curious, what did you use as a pressure soure?

They should've made a real, huge pneumatic and/or steam powered crawler just like this one, back in the 19th century. That would've both been awesome, and would have changed the course of technology progression :)

You did an awesome job and I wish I had that many pistons, valves, T spliitter joints, that much tubing, and an air compressor when I was 12!! The operation appears very smooth and well sequenced. It reminds me of things called State Machines (google it). I saw a lot of novel construction in this, and it looks like you figured out how to interface with those pesky valves pretty well! Keep on LEGO Technic-ing it up!

Awesome :)

realy cool and a lot hard work?!!, its like a robot-insect i a future-movie. even more impressing if you had combined the power functions and made some air compressors!!!

great video nice hobby to exersize that creative part of the brain, now time to make something else

well done man, i tried to make almost like that, but finally i got huge scorpion)))

Impressive!!

nice !!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome

That just looks awesome hats off to u for making that and u must have a bunch load of cylinders and piping

Que belleza!!!

Pretty simple, as in how the legs move, but acquiring all thoes parts is the hard part.

It would be scary to hear that Psihh-psuuh-psut- sound suddenly in the dark :D

@MyopicM2C1 Hello! It takes a large volume of air at 32.6 psi to operate pneumatic actuators that move the legs and the general supply pipe is not big enough to power everything at the same time! We must increase the presure but the pipes don't support it. Moreover, this assemby was a test to see how enchaining movements one after another with position sensors. Thank you for your interest and comments.

nice nice nice!!!

Nice, time for some MAC solenoid valves and a micro controller :)

During the Lego Revolt, it will require only 5 of these to break down the walls of the once great resistance center of Manhattan. Then the Exapodes will enter the city... and the bloodbath begins.

THE GUY NEEDS A HAIRCUT :D nice project!

NICE NICE NICE

24 cylinders, right? brilliant work, well done! i wonder how fast it can go if you increase the pressure... but it will sure be a lot of searching if some of the pipes disrupt :D

sick

O_O Wow. Have you ever considered signing him up for Roblox? It's like virtual legos, and you can build your own game for yourself and others to play! I play it and I think it's fun. Plus it's free to.

crazy

L'automatisation des mouvements se fait avec 4 switchs commandés par 4 vérins dont la position dépend du mouvement précédent et ainsi de suite. Le cycle se répéte à l'identique tant qu'il y a de l'air. voir à 3' 53" au 1er plan les 4 vérins couplés aux switchs.

Elle est trop cool ta bestiole et bien plus évoluée que la mienne.

self-sustaining movement? dude u invented pneumatic flipflops!

It's definitely on it's legs. Ignore robolegoenthusiast, LEGO can be ridiculously stong when built and braced properly. This thing can easily take it's own weight.

@MyopicM2C1 The movements are controlled by position sensors attached to the central pair of legs. If the movement of these sensors is blocked, the following movements are stopped. This assembly is nothing else that an automaton.

@ShokaLion Legos are only toys and this very heavy robot is supported by visible wheels in 1'59" when the head is up. Thank's for comments.

you are crazy intelligent!

Is it actually clear of the ground when it walks or does it drag itself? Either way excellent build. I love purely mechanical stuff like this. Excellent work.

Right, but problem is about perforated beams, not about pneumatic cylinders. Thank's for comment.

how are you supplying that with air? my pneumatics are really slow, if i had that many they would barely move.

@AKSoapy29 We tried LDD but we prefer having real assemblies to be finalized. However thank's for advice!

where do you get piston things i really need a few oh and the compressor

@AKSoapy29 These assemblies are challenges which i throw to my 11 years old son, he plays to realize it only with lego parts! However thank's for your comments!

The 100 L compressor is in the garage and the air arrives by the pneumatic hose that you see at 4'00'' behind the robot

@robolegoenthusiast Could you create a pumping system that worked with a lego motor with batteries. It would likely be inefficient, but would remove the need for external air.

6 x 6 legs + 4 in the head + 16 for the automatic system = 56 pipes. thank you robolegoenthusiast

@Welcome7oHell So is the troll who doesn't appreciate the complexity of this build nor think of anything nice to say. Great work, Robo!

inmy country no so clever peeps like you D:

Hi, how did you manage to get enough air pressure to make the EXAPODE walk ?

where did you get all the pneumatic parts

Right. You can see little wheels under the robots at 2.03. Legos are not strong enough to support a so heavy thing.

you realy need to get an nxt on it

is there a compressor in there?

how much pipes are in there?

@Dudeofmanyhobbies Everything is bought on Ebay

wow this is incredicle, where did you learn to use to pneumatic systems? i want to build something like this too! thanks for your help

You could use an Arduino and solenoids.

balaise mec ! ça tue ton truc. comment t'as rendu le tout automatic? t'as un distributeur derrière?

*imagining this thing minstorms-controlled*

looks like somebody poured noodles all over the crawler but a sick way to connect up newmatics... or however you spll that word

@spartan7126 all parts are available on ebay

Is it standing on the legs? I have the feeling that the robot is standing on some support, and that the legs are only used to move the robot forward, but not to support it, am I right?

what type of lego is this or is it lego at all

Hello guys im in the future and this is still an awesome build

A 150L electric compressor. Thank's for interest

What do u do with your old lego robots put them in boxes? Sorry if it sounds rude

@Phillip3223 About 200 euros on E BAY

@GanjaSaveTheWorld No problems, i built one in legos...

@iownudie108 no, it's too heavy

yes; a 150L one

@MiniNinja224 Each model is removed to build the next one !

I guess...a flyswatter won't be enough then

@skullrdw Hi, With a 100L compressor.

make it work by 1 lever and build on compressor [on machine]

@kleinesmaenchen No! it's too easy with an NXT !

@robolegoenthusiast why ? i would just mechanikaly control the levers.

@robolegoenthusiast We'll, it's just an idea. You wouldn't have as many parts as you do in the video, and it would be less complicated. But nice robot :D

each assembly is dismantled to build the next one

da ki si prendono quei pistoncini pneumatici???

I would say you have to much time on your hands, But that would be hypocritical, Considering I'm the one watching these videos :)

get two nxt programs to run the switches and airpump attach it to the top and have them pump air and run the switches

@robolegoenthusiast thnx

I'm sure it's possible. For example, checkout the video called ("Lego pneumatic walker : Test 1 - rising", KZfaq doesn't let me post the link) I myself have been toying around also with some walkers (although I use linear actuators instead of pneumatics), and it's a challenge, but they can be made to support themselves. Don't get me wrong, I still think your model is fantastic! But it'd be great if it would support itself :)

Can I buy that

Oh no, I use lego to build all my robot until doing them with real stuff and I can ensure you that pneumatic piston are strong enough for that if you use them properly.

@robolegoenthusiast on ebay? thanx, i found it, but now i am wondering where do you get money for it ?? :D

it should walk automaticly not one lever, next lever, another lever, and like that...

u need cabel ties.. :P

you shouldn't stop the video before the end !

CAN U SPEED IT UP?

@jazz0613 Why? She don't like ants or she don't like legos??

@spartan7126 these are official lego parts...

@AKSoapy29 No because Arduino and solenoids arn't lego parts

You have too much pneumatics. Just curious how many pneumatic cylinders do you have?

ok

Freaky Tecnology

thats a mouth full

I'm twelve and a half years old
