Travis's utterance expressed in news:Hoy8Mv.woE@lugnet.com:

I know everyone loves making walking bots. Cudos to all the walker
developers... take a bow. But I know that Kevin C. and I have on
occasion talked about what it would take to make an actual running
LEGO bot.  Lets open up a discussion for real and see if we can
collectively find the correct series of mechanics over the next year
to actually make a couple.  Maybe we could make it our collective new
years resolution for .technic.  It has to be possible.

And we agree that the correct definition for "running" is
that at no time two feet are touching the ground? And that
at one time beteen two steps there are _no_ contavt with
the ground! Of course this is for bipeds only! It is
somewhat different with quadropeds  :)  How about a trot?
Or a gallop?

Regards

(...) In my mind, running means all feet off the ground, no matter how many feet the walker has. I did not assume bipedalism. (...) Kevin (21 years ago, 26-Nov-03, to lugnet.technic)
