this moc uses 38 pieces including the elastic and the electrode.
can a walker be smaller?

hi
it's me again :)))
well i need some help with mlcad
as you can see on the ldr file
i didn't bent flex axle
if someone would tell me if there is a primitive part
of the end shape of flexible axle...
i would use it in flexible tubbing plugin in mlcad

but i belive that everyone will imagine
how it should be in model
the free end of flex axle sould be put into the second triangle part
to suround the walker body

so
my baby walker uses... 16 pieces

it has just one leg :)
but works (walks) perfectly ok

(...) Well, I'm sure you can make it smaller :) I don't have the micromotor myself so I cant try it out. Can you connect the crankshaft directly too the motor some way? What is the output from the micromotor? A short cross axel or what? I've seen (...) (21 years ago, 4-Apr-03, to lugnet.technic)

I got into a big debate at the bar last night as to whether this is a walker or not. Believe me, by the end I found myself arguing for this bot's place as a walker. but that was last night and I had too much to drink. this bot deserves to be in a (...) (21 years ago, 5-Apr-03, to lugnet.technic)
