I have been thinking about the problem some more... I have resolved the force into x and y components, making the assumption that the force will travel down the top of the leg to the 135 degree angle. The force of course is split equally due tot he angle, thus 167g into the x and 167 into...

hmmm the sketch didn't translate to the board... hopefully the robot pic will suffice?

The leg is one of 6 made for my hexapod robot, the 135 degree angle shown does not pivot. Imagine that there is an identical leg connected to the one in the diagram, and 3 leg pairs in this fashion. At any given time the robot will have a tripod in contact with the ground...

Hi all, just having a little trouble getting my head into the following problem. (See attached picture) The picture shows a robot leg, assuming the rest of the leg joins onto something rigid, I need to calculate the torque the motor is required to have to resist the 333g making it...
