Related Question.

I am working on a robot project with my daughter this summer.  I was
wondering how many walking robot kits there out there.  I would like a high
quality one that lends itself to further development.

Also, I have seen most of the robot chassis kits, I believe but have not seen too
many track models.  Like the paragraph above I am looking for a relatively high
quality (small, sturdy, reliable, repairable) one.

Anybody know of any?  Tracked preferred but wheeled is ok too.

An option is to build one but I have no clue where to get parts like tracks (belts)
and gearing to match, gears, etc.  I have tried RC Hobbie shops but they are
very limited.

I've recently bought a Stampbug (6 legged walker) from Milford
Instruments
( http://www.milinst.demon.co.uk/ ) in the UK and they have a simple 2
legged robot in their catalog.

I hope this is of help.

Hi, I wonder if this is a little off topic, but since I got a Handyboard
I would like to use it in a walking robot application. Does anyone have
any experience in making 2-legged robots? Hmm....
