Greetings,
That's an interesting idea. Now must build a robot
that moonwalks. If Michael Jackson has the processing power to walk
backwards without lifting a leg I think the RCX could handle it.

I was thinking about walkers too, and I came up
with an idea...
If the toes had a wheel, the walker could
basically drag the toe as the foot
moved forward, and therefore never have to shift
the weight from one leg to
the other.
This would require a leg that was jointed like a
horse's leg.
But I think this would work...
Thoughts? Comments?

| (...) OhOh. I think that walk is patented :-) At the very least you might get a nice cease and desist letter from his lawyer who is (I think) a monkey, or is it a llama? Either that or if you post an MPEG movie you'll get slash-dotted. Cheers, Ralph (...) (25 years ago, 24-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics)
