So did mine when I first built it. You have to be VERY careful. I checked
carefully and discovered that I'd made THREE mistakes while building it.
When I corrected them all, it walked beautifully except for the fact
that it only goes about a foot forwards before the stoopid microScout
decides to bleep a couple of times and stop.
One error that's VERY easily made is to get the small gears in the
X-frame gear boxes installed incorrectly - another is to get the
initial positions of the legs wrong with respect to the axles that
drive them. I forget what the third thing I did wrong was.
