That little walker is quite an elegant solution. So few parts, so simple. My version users another motor as a counter balance (replace the "eye" with a geared moter). If I had more cams, I'd make this into a "caterpillar". Altavista's babelfish (...) (24 years ago, 10-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics)

Not quite that simple, but you could arrange a touch sensor to be actuated by a small cylinder. Use a number of rubber bands to hold the cylinder "in" or ""down" to equal the force corresponding to the pressure you want in the tank. Put air from the (...)

I'd LOVE a way to place a sensor on the blue pneumatic tank that would reply with a 1 if the tank was 'charged' or a 0 if it's not 'charged'. Any way to do this you think?
