Jumping Mechanism

Nov 02, 2005 3 Replies

Hi Guys,



I'm dealing with a project that requires me to make a robot to jump by claps. I am able to deal with the clapping parts and the sound sensing parts. HOwever,I do face with a difficult task, that is the jumping part.



May anyone tell me how can i make a robot to jump up and land properly? What is the tools use to handle the jumping mechanism? Springs? Fast-rotating motor? May anyone give me some ideas?



I do really appreciate your guys' helps and advises. Hope to hear from you guys there. THanks..



Have a nice day.



You might try a robotics-themed newsgroup.

The BEAM sites might be a good place to start.

I do remember a jumping robot on the forum. One idea involved explosive pistons! Richard

Go to google.com and search for "jumping robot". I did and found several hits on the subject.
