Mighty fine walking machine. Nice work, Tom. Cleverly built non-robotic
machines like your walker impress me now even more than pre-Mindstorms. It
employees mechanical logic rather than an electronic program. Elegant and
challenging.
Looks like linear pneumatic movements power the walking more "naturally"
than rotary electric motors could do it.
Keep building, Miles Gentry
