After seeing the small walker by Lars Gjerlow Jorgensen, I finally decided
to make my own.

frankenstein.

future.
thanks Lars

LOL!
An army of Frankenbot's attacking the forces with silly walk 'til they laugh to
death. A little like the superjoke.

Are you holding the wire so it doesn't tumble? mine are
not fond of haveing big arms :( - but a tail does the
job nicely.

Sadly I only own two micro motors - else these things
would be invading my desktop, the tv, the kitchen and
everywhere - I've tried equipping mine with bionicle
masks, grabber arms and eyes, wings and other goodies.
Most of them looks quite bizarre - bu cute they are :)
Leg godt, sjovt og anderledes!

i'm not holding the wire per se. but it took me a few attempts to get the
wire into the right position, so that the robot would pull it and not be
pulled in a particualr direction. It seems that off to one side or the
other worked the best. Also I had to straighten my wire to get it to coil
and uncoil smoothly behind the walker.
thanks for the idea.
i'd been wanting to build a walker for quite a while now. And making the
animation was a lot of fun too.

Hi Travis,
Nice to see another person into walkers. If you are interested in other
walker ideas I recommend two sites:
http://www.users.qwest.net/~kclague - this is my site.
http://www.geocities.com/technicpuppy/lblinks.html - my fried Miguel
Agullo's site.
Miguels and I are very interested in LEGO bipeds. Miguel's page is the
single largest list of links to people's bipeds that I know of.
I'm currently working on the largest biped I've ever tried. It is all
pneumatic with a total of 18 medium pistons (seven for creating the
expansion/contraction sequence for the 10 pistons used as muscles at the
hips, knees and ankles. All the pneumatic circuitry works. It has two
degrees of freedom at the hips, knees and ankles. As always, it is a matter
of not falling over and not getting the feet tangled. I hope I can make it
work.

If you can't make it work no-one can!
Sounds wild though! Hope you make it!
