@jrmichler hope this give you a better idea, so the legs with the red circles on are the ones creating contact withe the ground, at one phase of the robots gait. As you mentioned it is a series of links and connectors. Now the aim is to find the torque acting at the joints, so I can say this...

Hello All, I am designing a robot that has these dimensions, I need to work out the torques around T1 to T6, I am unsure of the best way to do it, ie do I do a net torque calculation around the torque to be found or is there a better way. W1 to W4 = 0.53955 kN W5 = 14.44032 kN W6 to...

Hi, First post, and this stuff is way above my head so i am hoping some one can help me. So what I am after, i am after building a solenoid to to open a valve, this valve is holding back around 3000psi compressed air. its from a pressure washer gun. and takes quiet abit of force to open...
