Elmer Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 that is 29KM/h. (needed to convert that to understand how fast that is) Soon, big ones will be made and we can ride them...that would be cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flem snopes Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 that is 29KM/h. (needed to convert that to understand how fast that is) Soon, big ones will be made and we can ride them...that would be cool! Interesting that the gait is all wrong for a 4 legged animal with both front legs and hind legs working together rather than alternately. I expect speed improvements will depend on making the gait more efficient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis G Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I expect speed improvements will depend on making the gait more efficient. Nah, less downforce and more horsepower! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff-7 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Actually at 18 mph its gait is similar to a cheetah at full tilt, it just doesn't have the extension for propulsion like the cheetah. Notice both hind legs making a pushing motion and almost throwing it's hindquarters backward. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCUyo2rwq-c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
