Step 6Crankshaft frame
This part needs to be drastically improved, the crankshaft is made to be as simple and light as posible, but maybe because of this it tends to bend more than its necessary making the beest clumsy and slow.
Also its kinda hard to make the beest move because the crankshaft needs a lot of force for being able to move, my original idea was to mount a motor for giving it a walk-through-wire control, but i haven't found a way to mount it or a motor that can give enough torque to move it. I have tried gears without any luck.
If any one knows how to improve this part and automate it, please post a comment, i would love to give this animal RC control (or maybe a pid controller and a bunch of sensors for making it an actual robot).Crankshaft detail
