In this mech tutorial world I do my best to explain everything that goes into creating a walking machine. It's not practical to do step by step instructions, because mechs come in so many different varieties, but I have given you the building blocks that I use myself when I want to make one.


I hope it helps you build your own wild stuff!

I also added a video on how to connect pistons between grids in case you make a fat walker and need to do that.



Comments/Questions are welcomed, enjoy!

Finally made some walking mechs from a prefab set of legs I made. Everything else I was able to get to work on my own but the staying up right while walking including the angles of the legs and the motions to walk. I did it a bit differently for triggering the sequence but it wouldn't have been possible without finding out in the tutorial about the overridden gyros for the staying up right. Thank you for the tutorial.

The original idea was to take the big mech I already made at one point and get it to walk. But yeah Maybe I should jut make a new one from scratch some time. I will add it to my To Make List. And I will use the tutorial to help make it.

Hopefully it will be around as cool as the ones in the tutorial. Or fit in with my other work. Maybe I'll focus on the hips and legs then use that as a base point to make many tops. Or do you guys think much of the upper parts have to be made with the walking legs to get them functional?

tummygoo mate, try down sizing and planning over for the new size. (somethings are just better small)

I gave up on making my mech walk. I think it's maybe too big. I just re-uploaded it as a flying mech only.

Anyone ever hear of a movie called Robot Jox, or Robot Wars? Or played armored Core? These got me to love mecha/mechs. I even used have dreams I owned a secret one.

Though it is in my nature to try to figure out thing on my own. I have a feeling I am going to need this after I try my best to make a walking mech.

I already made a flying one which is super easy of course. If any one looked now they would see I don't have much on my workshop. I pulled everything to improve and update them. In a week I should have them back up including hopefully a walking version of my mech which is really big comparatively to the screen shot ones here. I hope it will be half as good as these ones look.

My mech already includes a modular weapon system that requires a carryall to put the weapons in place in the field if you want to switch them. I'd like to see how others do a modular weapon system for their mech some time (After I upload mine).

This is excellent! I've been toying around trying to make a mech and I feel a lot more confident about it now.

Trying to accomplish such a video but it may take quite a while
