has anyone ever actually made a lego bot that meets the definition of

of Walker, that basically meet the definition of walking, in that during
their stride they fall forward or backward.  I'd like to work on some thing
that runs, or encourage everyone to try as well.
I'm interested in finding an example of and building my own bot that moves
forward in a propulsive manner where legs and feet that move in a relatively
smooth cycle and propel the bot off the ground for a second during stride.

thanks in advance

Every 'walker' type of bot I've seen that professes the ability to run has
only been able to take a
couple of steps before it falls flat on it's face. It seems that they don't
have the ability to balance
and rebound from the steps they're taking.

I wish I could remember the exact links, but I can't. Try LUGNET's link
pages-I'm fairly certain
that's where I found the site full of walkers.

Here is a sight that I'm a fan of:
