The 1x7 liftarm is a bit short and the motor bumps against the flexible axle.
So I used a 1x9 (7+2) to be low enough, and I could remove Micromotor bottom.
I used a 1x2 liftarm with plate only for aestetical reasons...

I guess it will be hard to get a lower part count ;o)

Cool! I figured that the stiffness of the wire would help. I guess I'll call
it Shorty ,as it's only a little over an inch tall :). Now I've just got to
get that micro motor ordered so I can try it out myself. I'm wondering if
you could try out a slightly different design for me. It wouldn't use the
block under the motor (because as you said, the wire helps more than it
does) and it would use a 1x7 bent liftarm connected to a 16 long flexible
axle or flex hose of similar length. You could try it without a brick under
the motor or with a 2x2 plate there. If you could let me know how it works
out, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,

I was just thinking about the design and that I would really like to have it
lift its foot off the ground, and I think I have something. I think that a
1x7 liftarm with an 18 long flex tube would be a touch smaller and allow the
foot to clear the ground. The diameter of the flex tube is slightly smaller
than the flexible axle and I don't think the motor would bump it. Please let
me know if it works, and I don't mean to bother you.

Thanks,

jrl
