![]() And so then I would use those measurements and try to design the ratios and figure out how to make the movement work. Jon: Was she a willing participant in this?Ĭarter: Yeah. ![]() The next one I made, I wanted to mimic humans, so I remember measuring my sister, how long her hip to her knee and then her knee to her foot. And so I made my first one um maybe my freshman or sophomore year.Ĭarter: You could sit on it and you spin it around and it’s two legs out front that walk and pull you across the ground, very spider like. Um, and so I got obsessed with designing these mechanical legs. And so I think that's also part of why I understand YouTube so well because I spent so much time kind of almost reverse engineering at the time, trying to find content and so now I understand it better. I thought that was so interesting, and so I just spent hours and hours scouring the Internet looking for all the stuff I can find, and there wasn't a lot of stuff. So it creates these features that can walk, and when I saw that I was blown away. He made this rotary mechanism that mimics a leg movement. I get on YouTube, I remember even to this day and if you look at my saved history from back in 2009, I had these videos, I would scour the Internet for all these mechanical linkages where you have different bars connected together and then one spins around and you get other movements so you start with a rotary input like a bicycle pedal, but then you can use linkages to create different outputs, and I found this one Dutch creator Theo Jansen. Jon: In your teens you started to design and create innovative walking devices?Ĭarter: So, this was probably about 2009, so I’m a high school freshman.
