See, now *there's* a practical way to to shut me up - just send my the parts
:-). I'm actually heading down to the Orlando PAB soon, but I'm not sure they
stock 7L axels... when will we get a Technic PAB I wonder :-).

Thank you! That's actually nice photodocumentation, and I'll try to put one
together based on that. I wonder if for larger structures you might need to go
to beams for some of the connections that are under tension during parts of the
cycle.

I've been playing with the solar cells and the two capacitors I've got - the
combination runs an unloaded motors for a good long time in and out of the sun.
The question is how low-energy the system can be made. Theo Jansen's creations,
and yours, seem to do a wonderful job of moving horizontally without moving the
center of mass up or down, which is very promising. What happens if you speed up
the driving axles (say, a worm-to-8t instead of a worm-to-24t)?
