I hate to see a good thread die, so I decided to throw down the gauntlet for
small weight shifting bipeds.  Mine has *huge* feet and looks kind of dufy,
but it does weight shift.  It is the first time I've ever used a micro-motor.

Anyone else up for tiny weight shifters?

After two hours of horidly unpublishible 25 minute renders, I gave up, came
home and refined the walker.  Boy was i sleepy today!

THE RESULT

hmmm...
your walker brings the associacion to diver :)))
cause of feets :)

i've got some kind of draft of the mechanism
which could walk as chicken (with back knees)
but the left-right tilting mechanism isn't done

and the biggest disadvantage is the mechanism is really big
i would say huge
so if the walker-thread will alive
i'll try to make my moc smaller
i don't know it will be the contestor to your walker
but the thread will be (i hope) continued

It would appear that I credited the wrong person for the first tiny COG:er...

That answers your question.

Huge feet indeed it has, looking forward to next version!
