Theo Jansen step machine

That reminds me on the animations I created quite some years ago when I first came into contact with Theo Jansen's "strandbeest"s.

I digged into my archive and found the files (and also found a small mistake when I looked at the sheet 🙂

The file is not really well documented but I provide it here anyway in case somebody is still interested in the methods used.

Kinematic afficionados may find the time to also create animations for  the Klann-linkage and its derivates:

(The animation on the last site looks like a Mathcad-made animation!)
