I then found a cartoon sequence that shows how to draw a character walking. Observing this cartoon I notice that the walking action follows kind of a drop form, and I remembered that some 4 bars mechanisms did this shape, so using a program named “4 Bars” I searched for the best option for my purposes.
Wanting to make my walking “bug” very stable I decided that the best way to accomplish this was with a tripod, so I need to make a six legged “bug” so at all times there will be at least three legs on the floor. I also didn’t wanted to use chains or belts to drive all the mechanisms, so I try what is called a symmetrical mechanism and make that one mechanism drive the next one and so on. So I ended with four identical mechanisms in each side that needed just one axel to drive one mechanism in each side.
Later I draw it on Inventor to solve some constructions issues, like how to connect everything together in a way it wouldn’t be so bulky and didn’t interfere with each other. Then I built it with LEGOs and notice that the step couldn't be very hight because it requiered more power from the motor.(For a more detailed way of how I design it you can send me a message or post a comment)

Si lograras reducir la reducción (valga la redundancia) sería más notable todavía.
Felicitaciones.
Me imagino que como muchos otros motores de ventilador que he visto, este debe de ser de jaula de ardilla. Si se te llega a calentar, le podrias soldar unas aletas a la carcaza, y colocar un pequeño ventilador en el otro extremo del eje del motor para ayudar a enfriarlo.
Thanks for the comment.
To answer you other question, as it is it can’t steer. You will have to put on a second motor, so you could control each side individually, so you could steer like tanks do. But it would be a lot of trouble, and the original idea was to make it as simple and reliable as possible.
THANKS FOR YOU COMMENT!!!
