Describe how Big Dog's legs were moving while walking. What is the sequence of leg movements from one complete step? Using the terms BL, BR, FL, and FR for the back-left, back-right, front-left and front-right legs.
BR + FL, BL + FR, BR + FL, BL + FR.
Explain how this manages Big Dog's body weight.
For a normal human being they have 2 legs, if one leg is lifted up, another leg has to shift near the center so as to balance the human, this is called stabilizing the center of gravity. This can be shown for Big Dog as well, if for example the front 2 legs are lifted up, only way for the Dog to stabilize itself if it lifted it's body so it becomes parallel to the hind legs. Thus if Big Dog wishes to stabilize it's body weight while moving, it has to move 1 leg in front the the other opposite hind leg so it balances out the center of gravity. Think of it as a square with 4 sticks at each corner, if 2 sticks are near each other and lies on a single line, no way the square can balance, but if they were opposite from each other, there may be a chance the square is able to balance itself.
Draw a storyboard of Big Dog stabilizing itself after being kicked.
