    @Puredeath To lower the gearing. If directly the wheel wold go too fast and it would sefl destruct.

    @SpiritusRaptor so why do you have a gear at the top providing power to the big wheel when you could power the big wheel directly?

    This is too much for my phone to run on the needed physics setting. But from a purely mechanical point of view... beautiful. I can't wait to get a pc so I can fully appreciate some of the amazing stuff I see on here.

    @Dynimerous More than likely it is, the leg mechanism is from the internet and most mechanisms I found were pretty much the same. Thanks for the rating!

    Awesome! Is this the Theo Jansen mechanism? If not, you should look him up. He's great.
