i was wondering if anyone knows how to make bi,derectional mech legs with pistons. i have seen Sehvens mech and would like to make legs like his. the reason is is because theyre strong and look cool. it is also ok if they have invisible parts to it. any help would be apreciated!! thanks!!!!

If you wanna' see and dissect the actual mechanism, you can download my level: "Sehven's Mech Mark IIa." The walking technology is nearly identical (though small things have been changed, such as the pivoting feet, shock absorber toes, and the parts that have been made theck and invisible). The walk cycle (including the forward/backward) control mechanism (meaning the part in the logic network, not the control pod) is also nearly identical. As for the actual construction process, I like to start with a dark matter torso piece and build/adjust the legs until it looks like it's got a decent walk cycle. Then I change the dark matter to metal or some other material to see if it can walk. If it can, then I rig the control wheel (again, not the pod, but the wheel in the logic center that controls the legs' sync), and test it some more, both forward and backward, making adjustments until it works. If you get fancy with your mech (make it able to handle hills and/or jumping) you'll need to add stabilizers (and they're a good idea even if you don't get fancy), but you'll want it to be able to walk stably on a level surface without tricks first.

You can also take a look at my mech. I didnt use any tricks on mine. Its almost all cardboard and wood construction. I use a slightly different aproch to my mechs then seven, but it may help give some other ideas and possibly answer any questions youve had in the back of your mind too. the level is called "Raptor Training". its definetly a much simpler mech then sehvens but mine also has a real jump cycle instead of just rockets.
