As I wanted to play with your design (and if possible decrease the number of L7 axles still relatively scarce in my collection...), I modelled it using (URL) Euklides 2.02 geometry freeware>. (URL) Euklides file is (URL) here>. You can animate the (...) (17 years ago, 20-Oct-07, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.technic, FTX)

(...) I wanted to say thank you for your kind words; I also should add that I routinely use your page as a guide when thinking about lego motors. (URL) to the simulation. It is simply fantastic.

(URL) I went on and built my own version, using 8 legs with 90° phase offset and Power Functions motorization. Still a few things to improve, such as the bad balance due to the weight of the battery pack... See it (URL) here>. Thanks again for the (...)

(...) I fiddled with lengths in Euklides till I got a reasonnably flat and horizontal path for the foot, while keeping axle lengths even, and came up with this one. After building I had again a closer look at this other simulation: (URL) the bottom (...) (17 years ago, 22-Oct-07, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.technic)

(...) Thats a nice walker. Great job, now I want to place a brickshelf order so i can get more 7L axles. :) May I ask why you went with a longer axle at the "front" of the leg? As opposed to making it a "square" design. Also, great idea on the IR (...) (17 years ago, 23-Oct-07, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.technic)
