| | | | | Well, I figured I would join in the fun. So I grabbed a micromotor and set
out to build a tiny walker:

I doubt its the smallest, but maybe its the shortest? :)

The best feature of this walker is its stability, which allows it to carry
its own battery pack!

That was fun.

These look great. Wishing I had a micro motor. Nice to see you got a batery
pack on there.

That's a good one! It looks very stable, and proves it by carrying a load
greater than itself.
This model could really be used to build something on, in contrast with some
of the other 'baby' walkers we've seen lately.
Happy building,

I should have known you would come up with something special. That is the
first time I've seen that conical gear used on the micromotor. Very cool!

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | this rules. its totally kewl how you gave it four legs. i was planning on
doing a four legger today sometime. one thing though. i see that he legs
move in parallel. is there anyway that you can make all four hit the ground
a different moments, so that it moves like more like a horse. guess i'll
find out myself in about an hour.
carrying its payload... wow you should name this guy hercules or something.
great work

Right. Its really only got two legs.

I wanted to do that, but it would make the critter much bigger. You need two
gears running in parallel for each leg, so having four legs that move
independantly would double the size. I used this type of mechanism on my
window walker:

Eventually I would like to miniaturize this guy! It will be tough, but I
have some ideas.

Thanks! Hercules is a good name.

That's really cool, congrats on a great job. I've actually found a way that
you could make it a little smaller. I'll make an LCAD file and E-mail it to
you. It looks a little interesting, but it should work. :)
