I am working on a multi legged walking robot and would like to mount the legs on a ball and socket so they can swing any direction. Can anyone recommend suppliers of this type of hardware? Each leg needs to support about 50 lbs. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | Substitution mass confusion / Joel Nevison | | Clouds inside my head / jn163051@longs.lance.colostate.edu | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For ball and socket assemblies try a good R/C hobby shop. Either in the R/C Car (drive shaft type maybe not 50LBs though!), or R/C boats. A good High CC engine will put out a ton of touque plenty enough to support a 50 LB robot. Good luck, and describe your robot sometime. tommy b.
