[Jeremy] may have provided up on his huge hexapod project, however that doesn’t indicate he’s out of the world of legged robots just yet. He’s embarked on one more project, much a lot more sophisticated as well as lovely than a basic hexapod. This time, he’s building a Strandbeest, the exact same maker created by walking maker extraordinaire [Theo Jansen].

Coming up with the right lengths as well as joints of a Strandbeest leg link isn’t something you can just pull out of your head, so after [Jeremy] discovered the motivation for his new project he dug into the associated literature on Strandbeest legs. He discovered the work of [Dominique Studer] and set to work making his own mechanical legs.

Right now, [Jeremy] has a prototype of the Strandbeest leg link constructed out of wood. It still needs a bit bit of work, however soon sufficient there will be a PVC pipe Mountainbeest trolling the backwoods near [Jeremy]’s house.
