walking cycle theo jansen mechanism

Walking "cycle" with theo jansen mechanism HD version

Made the rendering while learning to do some basic mechanical animation and it turned out pretty nice. Thought I'd share my line of thinking of 1999.

The Theo Jansen mechanism has som inherent vertical movement in the legs. He solves this problem by using flexible legs.
This version has no steering, my idea about that is, hinging it near the "saddle' and forcing it around.
I you look at the cycles that have been built, the problems with the real thing are obvious, but what's wrong with a little dreaming

Hope you enjoy the HD version
