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 different category.  whats different about this bot
essentially is that it doesn't ever fall forward or backward while moving.
it more or less lifts itself and shifts.
I guess that i'd say this is not a walker for that reason. its some kind of
stomp bot.
still its amazing how small you got this thing.  However this bot is
definately not as cute as the twirp inspired symetrical upright walkers
though.  I think that this bot might find a better use as part of a
caterpillar locomotion system or something.

good work.

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
