Submit your Halloween pumpkin pics to /r/horror's carving competition!

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

Where do I buy one of those? Also, why?

[–]locopyro13 298 points299 points ago

Wheels provide the quickest and most energy efficient mode for self propelled travel over smooth terrain.

The flailing robot is really good at going over rough, uneven, unsteady terrain. But isn't super fast or smooth over smooth terrain.

Combine them into this hybrid and you get the best of both worlds.

[–]nitefang 17 points18 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Though, the point of the flailing robot is to combine both worlds in the first place, so this just amplifies the wheel side of it. I love that style of robot.

It isn't the smoothest mode of transport, so the camera feed and instruments would be jostled constantly. And I don't have numbers, but I would assume it is more taxing on the motors, constantly going from stress to no stress would lead to motor failure sooner.

[–]KernelD 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I wonder if axle could be rigged to serve a dual-purpose as a leg of sorts? That would require something that locks/unlocks the portion of the axle close to the wheel, and locks/unlocks the ability to rotate (like a joint) at a couple of points.

At the moment, the only problem it seems to solve is the problem of not being totally awesome. It's got that one fixed quite handily.

they won't solve getting stuck in soft mud/sand but should be able to handle rougher and more random terrain with its wheels/legs in that setup.

I've touched this robot, but it wasn't operational at the time. It goes up stairs as well.

The point of the semicircle wheels is to traverse some harder terrain that would otherwise be more difficult if it was just using wheels. Pretty awesome!

There is a TED talk on the subject

EDIT: nonliving too I guess >_>

Coolest thing I've seen all day. I want to buy one, except the size of my car.

As soon as it started 'walking' I shouted:

"Haters gonna hate!"

but spoke as if I were mentally challenged and flailed my arms about. I laughed so hard. But now I'm going to hell.

Oh that's nothing, DARPA once had a robot that did pretty much the same thing, except it transformed into a QUADCOPTER and could thus fly away.

Can't find any videos on it, but it probably was developed into this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JJzmfkufPE&feature=player_embedded

If they made a bigger version of this, it would be the greatest get away car ever.

First reaction...sweet! Then, whaa? With a side of floppy frog walk! All the while my face getting closer. And a squeal of NEAT-O!!!!

I looked at the gif not until the vehicle was moving and thought at first you had stuffed a cat in it :(

Is there some kind of source for this, or documentation on who made it/how it was made? Currently, I'm about to start building a similar robot for this, FRC. I think this would be super helpful.
Also, shameless plug

Military would consider this for use, I am sure. You could use it as a robotic mule to deliver ammo and other various supplies through rough terrain. I'm thinking a larger scale or smaller perhaps, depending on what is needed to transport. If the halved wheels would stagger their rotation a bit more it would be a smoother ride I think.

Someone should really send this to the folks at NASA. A design like this seems like it'd be a great idea for traversing spans of flat ground followed by more difficult terrain.

If i saw that in real life, i would try to kill it with my shoe along side my dog who i hope would be barking at it to intimidate it into submission.
