Breaking Ground Walker speed challenge

[Kergarin]

@jmark1213 wow, you have broken the walk-barrier of 20m/s!  And it looks so smooth by doing so. Do you actively steer the tail and neck? 

Added to the leaderboards!

Now next up t-rex?

@jmark1213 Nice mine, you did it! I love the dino design. 

Those speeds are seriously impressive for a biped, I hope I can keep up! ;¬)

@SuperHappySquid I don't know why I didn't feel this earlier, but somehow I would now like to see a super fast running squid

Thanks! The tail and neck passively balance the mech since they are 90% reaction wheels  it worked a lot better than I expected it to! 

T-Rex is a possibility

I reckon wait until the KAL 1000 update so you can copy and pasted tracks. Otherwise, too many legs!

 

PS. @jmark1213  Please add your awesome dino to the Kerbal Zoo!

Four legged mech - basically I stuck two of my raptor walkers together to create a quad mech. It has an unfortunate tendency to destroy the runway. 

Roughly 25 seconds start to finish.

I was all set to re-enter my frog with new grippy feet, but it appears the new update has summoned a power consumption Kraken. Both my frog and my Kant rover now have no range at all. The frog only makes three jumps before depleting its batteries despite the two massive fuel cells underneath. The Kant rover does not even last 30 seconds before conking out as well.

 

Have any of the rest of you updated and noticed issues? (I have started a thread on this in the tech support forum).

Yes, power consumption has gone through the roof.

I have read soothing about rebalancing in the change log. Had no time to test by now.
