Step 6Adding Cylinders to the Leg
The hydraulic cylinders for the legs needed to be convincing (and movable), but like everything, as light as possible.
The upper tube is a piece of PVC covered with foil duct tape. The lower tube is a thick cardboard tube, covered with contact paper (for smoothness), then painted. The end mounts were formed from Sintra and glued on.
The same components would be used later for the arm cylinders.
