Oh.. My bad then
bstenslandsays...Engineering like that is on par with things like the engineers of the pyramids, or other world renown sights. Just incredible, great post!
Kallesays...Great but too short..

yeah, man! nobody forced you to click play and then have an opinion about a video you never even watched! how would you even do that! that's impossible! are you some sort of time cop?!
how convenient for duckman that he can just tell people that they weren't forced to watch a video they knew nothing about to nullify any opinion they might have about said video. truly a brilliant mind in the world of debate.
"mr. president, what do you say to those who criticize your pro-choice stance on abortion?"
"well, reporter guy, nobody is forcing them to have to know my stance on pro-choice!"
"recently at a conference on knowing things, the chairman of knowledge declared that nobody forced him to know things, and that's why he is stepping down as chairman. the chairman could not be reached for comment, but his secretary said that the chairman had an opinion on knowledge but since he was not forced to know it, forgot it."
"at a benefit concert for unwatched videos, U2 declared that even though nobody had forced them to click play, they didn't click play anyway, and that's why we don't know what the videos are about."

solecistsays...you're telling him that if he has a negative opinion about your video, he shouldn't have watched it in the first place. i am merely making a mockery of that flawed logic...for fun. sorry.
mxxconsays...i'm pretty sure this is a snippet (dupe?) of a much longer video..i think it was like 30min long where he explains how these machines work and evolution of their mechanisms.

There you go.
NOT A DUPE. Not even close to a dupe. An excerpt is not a dupe! @mxxcon, thanks for remembering the prior two versions of this man's work.

no, it's not this video. it was much longer. Theo showed different evolutionary designs of legs and how water pump system works in these devices. and it wasn't his TED talk either..
kymbossays...I was forced to watch this video.
Please send help.
juliovega914says...Everyone stupid please STFU.
Anyway, I have seen several videos about these machines and the guy who makes them. He has an intimate bond with them, treats them more like animals than just machines.
What I find interesting is that he doesn't use any cad software or analytical computations in designing the constituent components. He just plays with the dimensions of motion until he gets a movement he is looking for, and adds it to the design. Considering the same motion translated through hundreds of different mechanism, even a small error gets magnified many times. I am often amazed it comes out working at all.
