Introducing by far my fastest biped yet. I've clocked it at approximately 28 ft./min. or about .5 km/hour, although its speed can vary a bit depending on the surface it's run on. It is fairly compact, and it uses an improved walking mechanism that (...) (21 years ago, 7-Jul-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.robotics)
