- Objective: This amusing
animatronic is very instructive since it requires
symmetric relative moves of its servos to stay
upright. When properly choreographed the strider
turns right and left as it strides in place,
doing slow dips or fast gallops. The robot can
also pitch itself onto its face and then, again
using symmetric servo moves, stand on its head
and kick its feet.
- Parts:
- To learn: If you have two
joints in series and in the same plane, like
the upper and lower joints on one of the strider
legs, and you move them by equal amounts (angles)
in opposite directions, then the second servo
moves parallel to itself.
Please follow the manual of the Robix Rascal
Robot kit when you build your own robot fingers.

Users typically program a few different kinds
of "strides", they then put them together in a performance
lasting a minute or so.
One example of the "stride" macro is: servo 1
(right lower) moves by 1200 while servo 3 (right
upper) moves by -1200. And the bottom of the right
lower servo stays flat to the ground. The two right
servos moved by equal amounts in opposite directions.
The same is true of the left leg, so the feet slide
flat on the table.
