That is just great!
I had to try to make one with the micro motor.
Like this:

His big brother Twirp semmed to stumble all the
time, so I gave him new shoes:

But Twirp also has a big brother - he has the
Engine Crankshaft Centre instead of the Engine
Crankshaft. So he is a little bigger and faster.
Unfortunately - during the photo-shoot he got all
nervous and fell over - so the little ones got
all the honour :)

His misfortune even got caught on camera:

The others made better poses for the camera:

Leg godt alle sammen!

That's cool, especially the micro motor version. I would build one myself,
but I don't have a micro motor quite yet. You said that the regular Twirp
seemed to stumble a lot, I think that might be because you're running it
backwards (the flat side of the motor should be facing forward). Twirp does
have some trouble walking backwards because of the small feet and the fact
that the mini motor weighs more on one end than the other, but I wanted to
keep it as small as possible and I didn't think it would need to walk
backwards much. I'm glad my design inspired you to build some little
walkers, and I'll be making some new designs soon.

LOL!
The poor fellow... I had him turned the wrong way all the time :)
