Hopefully you are right. I just don't see how my stupid 5 minute micro
walker fits in with amazing cranes and construction vehicles built by people
like TJ and Jennifer Clark.

???? This is a wierd way to define a walker. Here is my definition: A
creature that moves by transfering its weight from one set of legs to the
other. In the case of Bipeds, the weight is transfered from one leg to the
other. This disqualifies things that drag along the ground. But, in saying
all things that do not 'fall forward' are not walkers, you disqulify all
hexapods, quadrupeds, and a large group of bipeds.

Sure its possible. Just bigger :) I made one version that just used cranks
with small tires on the end as feet, which provided the diagonally opposite
stride. But it didn't have the balance.

Thanks. I think thats it for the microbots. More interesting stuff to come.
