The Giant Robot Project is an undertaking by Canadian inventor Jaimie Mantzel to construct a large 6-legged robot. The robot is approximately 3.0 to 3.7 meter in height with a similar dimension in width and is made primarily from scrap metal and aluminum tubing. The machine is powered by a central electric motor system that mechanically transfers energy to the legs. To walk, the machine lifts 3 of its legs forward while pushing the remaining 3 legs backward against the ground in an alternating cycle. The system is designed in such a way that it can seamlessly adjust its direction of movement based on the rotation of the drive section located at the center of the machine. As of 2010, the robot had no onboard power system in place yet and during initial testing had to be tethered to external
