I love building little robots with my Vex IQ robotics kit but I noticed that my wheeled creations struggle to move over carpet, so I thought "what if they could walk instead of roll?" Heavily inspired by Theo Jansen's strandbeest kinetic sculptures, this kit included various parts to build your own strandbeest from a Vex IQ kit!
Every hole in this project is 4.3 mm across. The Vex IQ 3D printing specification sheet I found insists the holes should be 4.2 mm, but I suspect some quirk of my printer requires the holes to be bigger in order to accommodate the kit's pegs. Some post-processing may be required to get the mechanisms to work smoothly.
Like the Vex robotics kit, the intent of this project is to provide one with tools to build something unique of their own design, so I encourage you to print off a few of each piece and just kind of tinker.
If you wish to assemble a strandbeest exactly as I have, you will need to print eight of each truss, two struts, two drivers, and four of
