If I knew how to program servos I could make swings.

You can turn continuous rotational motion into pendulum motion. At first I was thinking of a modified escapement system like a pendulum clock, but a crank-rocker is better. I know very little about mechanics, so this took me forever to find the terms for.  

I'd do it like this though:

So, what do we say to the god of rain ?

Funny, as soon as I put wheels on, the Kraken attacks and it won't work anymore.

Cool, that's gonna be 1 big ship.

Working on a car, took me forever to figure this out...

Can't put wheels on without summoning the Kraken, I'm going to try to unlock the autostruts on the wheels in the .cfg files, see if that helps. Edit: impossible...

Also on my todo list:

I solved the problem by placing the wheels on a strut, no more collisions, the robotics work smooth now.

As far as I understand it, they're now hard-coded into one of the wheel modules. There use to be a trick where you could Module Manager them out, but that stopped working a while ago.

Aha, I searched the file for  "strut" and "lock" but couldn't find anything.

I managed to fix it by adding cubic struts on the wheels and then place them, no idea why, but it works.

My next project was much easier, although I had to make 2 seperate hinges, because they wouldn't mirror....

I made 2 videos :

 

I'm going to work on a "strandbeest" now.
