I have been thinking about a quad design that has wheels at its toes.
This is a proto type proof of concept design excersize.
Future designs will explore this set up with the final version being motorized.

Hey Eric, Very cool. The design of the feet is very interesting - though I'm not sure I understand the combination of jointed legs and wheels. Is this a rollerskating mech? The use of the old tow truck piece as tail is very clever. Bruce (18 years ago, 26-Apr-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

I like animal mecha. They remind me of ZOIDS. I'd like to see this motorized if possible. Maybe incorporate sensors or something for the wench. I think the ears might be to short for a rabbit.

No really Fred, I insist, YOU get the hot load. But I get it, the crane is (...) (18 years ago, 27-Apr-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

(...) Eric it is beuatiful.... does it actually walk autonomously? I'm baaaaack! K (18 years ago, 28-Apr-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
