Chebyshev's Plantigrade Machine

Input: grey motor making pink and orange cranks rotate regularly at the same velocity thanks to 2 timing belt drives. Pink and orange cranks are parallel.
Here there are four Chebyshev’s Lambda Mechanisms, to which four yellow legs are connected by revolution joints. Violet sliders keep the legs always vertical. Using prismatic joints is the weakness of this machine but the legs are supported more steadier.
