(...) Mighty fine walking machine. Nice work, Tom. Cleverly built non-robotic machines like your walker impress me now even more than pre-Mindstorms.

With practice you can get a reasonable pumping speed but it looks incredibly perverse! Besides, it still won't (...) (25 years ago, 30-Mar-00, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.build)

My, but those cheap digital cameras do have an odd habit of making red into pink, don't they? :o) Makes me wonder if more people would've bought an 8448 if it HAD been made in pink! ;-) -- Cheers ...
