Lighten up..:lol
Hey its LEGGOES.
How ya like that?
Re: AT-AT wlaking model
Well, HOW one defines.."Scratch Build" could be suspect. I think its the "LAY-GOES" ATAT..maybe modified...but I dont think he re-invented the wheel.

wow! That is totally trick ! I love it!
Re: AT-AT wlaking model
That was my first thought too, but looking at it again, I don't think it sweeps fast enough - it's out of sequence with the steps.
Whatever - it's beautiful! Do want.

If you look at the toes they also move when the legs are in motion.

same model by same guy.
Built by Brazilian guy named Adriano.
supposed to be fully scratch built, and motorized.
suppose to be no-computer, just purely mechanical, ie an automaton.
how he did it, in such small scale is beyond my comprehension.
There is simply no room for servo motors in that thin legs.
but it proves one thing, AT-AT is very stable, can stand on any 3 feet without any problem.
this is Electronic Action Fleet AT-AT for comparison

and there are tons of Lego AT-AT on Youtube, so compare those too.

That's very cool. He could sell a ton of them if it was the size of the original toy.

judging from the guys hand, the model seems to be less than 1 foot tall.
any how, I wouldn't mind spending $200 for a copy myself.

It's not Lego mindstorm , they are too jerky. The legs bend good and are very well jointed/articulate in the upper regions. It's gotta be some type of walking 4 legged robot converted . With all the great minds on here you guys can make something like it.

It's obviously not Lego Mindstorm.
Lego AT-AT walks extremely jerky.
some how, this person was able to articulate each joints using somekind
of hidden linkage, or very specialized servo motor, which is small enough
to fit into those legs some how, yet powerful enough to drive them.
each legs have 4 degrees of freedom.
whether this is some kind of cam, wire, linkage driven automaton
or electronically controlled robot, either way it is amazing achievement.
I bet ILM animatronic department will have hard time replicating what
this guy has done, even today, let alone back in 1979.
