This is somewhat off-topic but has anyone else noticed that the background Bi*nicle noise is gone? A dreadful visit to .technic.bionicle gives that there is now days between the posts... Hope we did not scare AFOL's away from Lugnet but I must say (...) (23 years ago, 13-Mar-02, to lugnet.technic)

Joe's awesome-- no doubt. Just when you think he's covered every style of bipedal motion, he comes up with another. I'd LOVE to see some more (besides Eric Sophie's brilliant creations) lego mecha that are actually mobile. I've yet to incorporate my (...)

(...) Yes, i did it before posting the message. It is of no use for me, front axle is too low - too small ground clearance, every lubrication i tried catched dust and made things much worse. I didn't tried teflon (?tephlone?) as lubricatin yet. (23 years ago, 12-Mar-02, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

Very cool. Should be able to do it with two motors. I wonder how he sync's the left and right feet. It doesn't look like any sensors are used, or am I missing the wires? I am inspired. P.S.
