Here's a robot that gets around almost everything!

That's pretty cool! It's a bit of a shame that he used the wheels like 95% of the time although the "seal" like motion at the end was pretty clever (but I'm not sure if that would work on a more uneven surface - I don't think a rug counts as an uneven surface :mrgreen:

) and I like how it kept transforming to get up the slopes. Was the robot using HS-422 servos? If so, are they strong enough for that?

As cool as that thing is, the walking motion made me want to throw up.

Why was the guy making it bend its knees inwards? That was pretty weird. Also, I found this robot which I think is pretty cool:

That's creative!

A lot of "shuffling" going on!

I think balhan takes the win in this category. I've seen a few of these kinds of robot out there, there was one from Japan where there were multiple wheels and each wheel acted like a centipede's legs when in walking mode.

But this guy Balhan, on youtube, seriously takes this win:

I don't think it's the best at walking, but the transition from car to robot form will make any Transformers fan drool...
