[[File:Foot V2.png|x300px]]

*redesigned foot with single pivot
*we reduced the thickness and the components

[[File:Foot V2 (2).png|x300px]]

*single pivot foot with exploded modular plates

[[File:Backhoe inspiration 1.jpg|x200px]]

[[File:Backhoe inspiration 2.jpg|x200px]]

we got inspired from some existing legs:
*the piston and the leg had 2 different attachment points
*the piston is free to move (it doesn't get in contact with the leg)
*the piston contribute to the solidity of the entire structure
*we read that was some structure doubts on the first version [[http://opensourceecology.org/wiki/Cory_Shenk%27s_Log#June_18.2C_2013:_Backhoe_.28Stabilizer_Arms.29]]
and a "double-beam" leg is distantly related to hollow section, so we think is could be more resistant

results:

[[File:Leg V2.png|x300px]]

*double beamed
*single-pivot foot
*free piston

[[File:Leg V2 movement.png|x300px]]

*assembly

[[File:Leg V2 pivot.png|x300px]]

*we are still working on how to attach it to the pivot :(
for the leg is pretty simple but is more difficult for the piston (that must be higher)

== JUNE, 20th ==

[[File:Plate versions.png|x300px]]

*we tried to reduce the modular plates 1. to save space and 2. to save material
so here's the versions of the modular plates (green first version, triple last version)
*the last version is thinner and have 3 steps for more adjustments
*we noticed that attaching the steps with some bolts will make some studs-like bumps that is kinda good for soft terrains.

== JUNE, 19th ==

[[File:Backhoe stabilizer foot.png|x300px]]

*We made a first concept of the stabilizer foot, based on a double pivot used for some mops;
my intention was to create a double axis adjustment on the terrain.
*Gary said me the piece was too difficult to machine, so I leave this first model as an "idea" for future modifications

[[File:Stab foot V1 movement.png|x300px]]

*example of foot's movement (maybe it lose some strength with all this inclination)

[[File:Modular foot V1.png|x300px]]

*we thought also about a modular plate to increase surface if needed, for example on sand or other soft grounds.
*the plate can be disassembled to reduce occupied space and for applying more force if needed on solid grounds.
