Auto Credit Based on SnoWFLakE0s's LeaperBot v. 1.0
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.
Specs
- Maximum Jump height: ~20 ft
- Maximum Jump Distance: ~15 m
- Source of Power: Pistons only
Controls (Read Please!)
- Throttle charge up to more than 75% (I recommend 100% anyways, below 75% will do nothing)
- Brake. The energy will be released and you go in a jump!
- While you are in the air, throttle up again to ensure maximum distance and for successive jumps. I recommend doing so.
- You cannot control the direction of the mech in this version, but here's a beta version with left-right control.
Have fun,
-SnoWFLakE0s

Super cool concept! Too bad my device cannot run it fast enough to get it to work... Though I wonder if it would be possible to build a walker by swapping the inputs of one of the legs and doing a bit of tweaking...
@SnoWFLakE0s: I have the luxury of high physics.
@Tengam Maybe only on your side. What physics setting are you on? It works fine on ships as well.
How @DepressedTortoise
Huh, suspension doesn’t work when hopping on a ship. It just explodes and pistons fall out
Cool!
@Roswell true
@CarsonG1017 that's is easier said than done
@Roswell you can get a Bluetooth keyboard at walmart for like 20 bucks.
@CarsonG1017 when your like aww man I'm on mobile with no keyboard :/
I’ve found switching the pistons to Brake input works on mobile.
Note: for mobile, a keyboard is required for this to work properly.
Thank you Kanye, very cool.
