Here’s an example:



This is the basic unit of the solution I came up with. It can be extended to any height. The steps are fully supported and it’s built with all “legal” moves as far as I know. No LEGO bricks were harmed in the production of this model.

Half steps are fairly trivial... try quarter steps. They’re possible ;)

So let’s see some quarter steps!
