[Teaser] Mechanical Leaper-Bot

67.1k SnoWFLakE0s  6.5 years ago

Hi guys, I'm back.

Yet another mechanical build. As the title says, what I'm presenting to you guys today is a piston-powered mech or bot or whatever that leaps to move. The basic mechanism is simple, it was just hard to get everything into place lol.

Getting over bumps

Charges up energy to release in jump

Jumping

  • Jump's maximum height reaches up to 7 meters and reaches a distance of 15~25 meters maximum.

I'd like to make more aesthetic details and a cockpit, but I'm so bad at making small things like that. Would like a little help on that if anyone could.

    Nah you won’t be able to jump because there is no B button. You have to lower the throttle to 0 and then put the brakes on. It’s like pressing control on your keyboard. @SnoWFLakE0s

    @jamesPLANESii yes it can but needs AGs
    Builder:
    1. Set piston AG
    Simulation:
    1. Turn off piston AG
    2. Throttle 1.00
    3. Turn on piston AG (jumps)
    4. Throttle 0.00
    5. back to [1]

    @SnoWFLakE0s not about part count... you cannot reduce power so much so quickly

    @jamesPLANESii No, it'll work- only 285-ish parts.
