Bipedal Tank: Type 4

Archive: 8 posts


As the name implies this is the forth biped I've tried making.

There's no tricks or anything fancy going on, just wobble bolts and a lot of patience.

Cool!

Do you have a demo-level out where we can test it?

Great styling! I'm impressed. Bipedals are truly one of the more difficult machinery to build in LBP as they really extend beyond the realm of LBP physics.

I'd be interested in checking out your earlier prototypes. Have you experimented with knee/foot joints at all?

@Thegide : Just look at the related videos, types 1, 2 and 3 have their own videos. Also, there might be a few old threads floating around on LBPC about them.

It's great to see the evolution of this mech. The attention to detail is incredible, and it really "feels" like a giant walking tank. I imagine this new version doesn't fall down anymore the way the others sometimes did.

Oh yeah, I must have been blind not to see those already!

Yes, I published a level where you can mess around with it today. It's called Bipedal Tank: TYPE 4. There are towers of cardboard boxes which are fun to shoot along with a rival mech.

I added some more detail to the vehicle so there are moving parts and stuff.

Cardboard. <3

It'll still fall over if you pause mid-step, but yeah it's far more stable than its pervious incarnations.

Knowing you I'm sure you'll find some way to break it!
