Glider Skating in the park

Published on Apr 11, 2013

Nick Donaldson's hexapod robot Glider goes for a skate on the tennis courts at the park.
Approximate top speed is 6mph / 10kph when skating, 10x the walking speed. The wheels are passively mounted at an angle to the legs, allowing them to roll on the ground when the legs are spread.
