Hey, I have been looking at all the cool mini-walkers and decided to build my own. Its called TLW, and while its not as small as some of the others, (it ended up being about 4.5 inches tall) for being my first working 2 leg walker I like it and I think it turned out well. Here is a link to just its page (if you click on this link you will only be able to view tlw): http://dratrobotics.tripod.com/tlw.html And here is a link to my main page, if you go to the main page click on the logo with HTML written accross it, the Flash and Virtual page do not work yet: http://dratrobotics.tripod.com/ TLW can carry its own wight and it lifts each foot preaty high off the ground.

Hi Daron, Your design looks strangely familiar. Nice to see that the design scales up so well. Welcome to the fun and challenging world of weight shifting bipeds! Keep building! Kevin

That could be why it looks familar.

Just an update, I completed a CAD of TLW. Also the website has changed to: http://www.dratrobotics.com/tlw.html The zipfile containing the CAD can be downloaded from that page. The zip contains two CAD files one for the body and one for the feet.
