As soon as I saw LunchBox's frog, I knew exactly how I would've done it before I even had the chance to click Download... It took me awhile to work out the system, and it isn't done the best way it could've been (had to kludge the 'knee' hinge rotators to work how I envisioned), but it actually works!
Mostly...
It doesn't have nearly the forward-movement I hoped it would, but it does awesome at jumping. Overall I'm damn pleased considering it's my first stab at anything mechanized.
This would actually make for a number of fun Party Games, where loser has to drink a beer/take a shot/etc.
Things like
"who can jump the highest in x-number of [jumps/seconds]"
"who can travel the furthest distance"
"do the most flips"
etc etc :P
BTW my record height at Wright runway is 353ft, after combo'ing together about 6 jumps in a row; can you beat it??
MOVEMENT:
[Press AG1 to activate the legs]
Hold Brake to actuate the legs, release it to retract them (automagically)
Repeat to induce movement *(time the jumps right to either jump higher or jump further/go forward.)
Turning is Roll Left or Right (via Gyro which uses Roll input for Yaw control). Yaw to lean him Left or Right for helping with trick jumps.
Pitch to lean Forward and Back .
TO BE HYPONOTIZED:
Hold Frog firmly
Take a giant lick of his back
Look into his eyes and press AG2
Then, change the time of day to Midnight (aka 0:00)
While he DOES float, he is not an aquatic boy, so traveling across water is even slower than over land.
ENJOY THIS DERPY BOY!

anyways what a nice build! you dont see this everyday
i just realized i wasnt following you until now, sorry my notifications is really buggy for some reason
@Thunderhawk Thanks :)
Though credit still to LunchBox for the majority of its body, and of course the fact that had he not made it in the first place I wouldn't have ever thought to do any of this!
(Also to @Sadboye12 for the glowing glass trick. I promise I'll stop mentioning you some day, but I love the effect too much and appreciate you sharing how it's accomplished! I even used it on the landing legs of my Mars "Ingenuity" helicopter drone as a bit of a reference-indicator for night landing... lol)
This is amazing
@Formula350 good point, ill check out the noise now lol
@JaphetSkie If you listen closely, you can hear him go BRRRrr-BRRRRrrt every time he jumps :D
For once, the noisy servos work to our advantage! heh
@LunchBox glad you like it!
Yes! We have Glass Fuselage, and Floating Fuselage, I think that... albeit silly as hell... a Gelatin Fuselage (or resizable square) would make for interesting comedic wonders. The physics wouldn't be very "simple" and it might murder mobile, but it'd be fun to play with for certain lol

Oml, I-i-m speechless, its so beautiful it brings tears to my eyes, just a regular floppy boy. "In head wishes there was a jiggley fuselage block". IMAGINE JIGGLEY FROG
