The Dynamic Duo!

Presenting two tiny COG-shifting walkers, Runt and Mighty-Mite.

There are two versions of each: Runt MX uses the technic mini-motor, and
Runt FX uses the older-style flat motor; meanwhile, Mighty-Mite uses a
micromotor and has basically the same walking mechanism as Runt, and
Mighty-mite 2 is redesigned to be even smaller.

All of them walk smoothly without dragging their feet, and they can all
carry their own battery packs!

I've posted ldraw pictures and DAT files of all of them on Brickshelf; here
are the links:

It was bound to happen, sooner or later.

Amazing!

Any chance of videos?

I still have to build a COG-shifter...

Way to go James!

Your dynamic duo are the smallest COG-shifters yet!

Cool. I added those to the "walkers" page (from the .technic sidebar). I'm
going to have to build those sometime soon. They look too cool. Hopefully my
cats won't try to eat them :-)
