James, I've been extremely inspired by your tiny weight shifters. I knew that my original attempts were going to be bested, but I hand't gotten inspiration to make them smaller. I actually finished up a uCOG III that had smaller feet than uCOG II, but it wasn't much of a victory. Using some ideas from your design, I came up with uCOG IV, an upright walker that is notably smaller than uCOG III, where the footprint is a 2x4, instead of 4x6. Here he is: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/kclague/mm-walker/p5070038.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/kclague/mm-walker/p5070039.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/kclague/mm-walker/p5070040.jpg Here he is standing next to uCOG III http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/kclague/mm-walker/p5070041.jpg uCOG IV is not as small as Mighty Mite 2, but he has a smaller footprint and more foot clearance.

I forgot to mention that given uCOG IV weighs so little, the torsional and bending resistance of the cable has a huge effect on walking. I'm motivated to make a micro-battery pack, with six hearing aid batteries.... :^) Kevin (21 years ago, 10-May-03, to lugnet.technic)

(...) - Kevin, I'm glad you were inspired by my little walkers. This one is pretty cool. It reminds me of a little toddler =) I saw uCOG III a couple days ago(those 24-tooth gears sure come in handy as cams) and thought it looked nice. You're right (...)
