Some friends and I have been discussing that on and off, to the level of
watching the movie to make sketches of leg motion. We have sort of
assumed that you'd have to pack the storage in the center with 2 or 3
RCX's. You'd also have to lose some accuracy, assuming that there would
have to be a motor at the knee, and probably a fixed hip. Of course,
seeing as we have a severe shortage of grey parts, this has all been for
naught :)
On a slightly related note, has anyone who owns of the (awesome) AT-ATs
attempted to post close-up shots which might be useful for reconstructing
them? I'm particularly interested in hip and feet shots which might show
enough detail to figure out their structure. Of course, you could just
enter the whole thing in LDraw and then I'd be real happy :)

| (...) I could be wrong, but I would expect that trying to put motors in the knees might cause a lot of unsightly bulk there that might ruin the whole effect. I had been thinking that this might be a good application for some sort of remote linkage (...) (25 years ago, 3-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.events)
