pogo-hop

Quick, stiff little vertical hops powered mostly by the ankles, legs nearly straight.

Composes: move-leg + balance-and-posture

How

• Use a sequence with loop:true. Small root.y bounce (~0.25 apex) with a tiny knee bend and pointed feet on takeoff.
• Short durationMs per cycle (~700).

Example

• "pogo hop" -> {"durationMs":700,"say":"Boing! Boing!","sequence":{"loop":true,"frames":[{"t":0,"pose":{"LeftLeg":[10,0,0],"RightLeg":[10,0,0],"LeftFoot":[70,0,0],"RightFoot":[70,0,0]},"root":{"y":-0.05}},{"t":0.5,"pose":{"LeftLeg":[0,0,0],"RightLeg":[0,0,0],"LeftFoot":[55,0,0],"RightFoot":[55,0,0]},"root":{"y":0.25}},{"t":1,"pose":{"LeftLeg":[10,0,0],"RightLeg":[10,0,0],"LeftFoot":[90,0,0],"RightFoot":[90,0,0]},"root":{"y":0}}]}}

Limits & posture

Keep ≥1 foot grounded except at a jump's airborne apex; stay inside human joint ranges and keep weight over the support — see balance-and-posture.
