Here's an example of simulating "motors" in ODE. I'm not using the AMotor at all, just applying a velocity on a hinge joint...

In this demo some robotic critters try to crawl over obstacles including (breakable) tables! :)

LOL how cool is that?!?! :D

crawler one seems to be the toughest one, since he always wins ^^

awesome mate, really awesome!


for the non-jvode-users: look at that screenshot and think of the "legs" being rotated:

Cheers dude!

Yes it's good fun playing with these things!

Even if you bury them under a ton of cubes (hit enter) most of the time they'll eventually emergy and carry on. Silly buggers :)

Hehe, nice demo :)

I've added a modified car demo in the JV-ODE Thread which uses Ball/AMotor Joints for the rear wheels. Have a tinker with it and see if it helps with your experiments.
