(...) leg_cost = 2 pistons, 4 switches n_legs = 8 legs_cost = 8(2 pistons, 4 switches) = 16 pistons, 32 switches timing_cost = 2 pistons, 2 switches reverse_cost = 8 switches turn_cost = 8 switches total_cost = legs_cost + (...)

| (...) Thanks, Eric. (...) I think this will make forward/backward walking do a side to side stagger, as Steve realized sideways walking was going to work. (...) If we measure the total distance front to back that the foot travels, this tells us the (...) (20 years ago, 8-May-04, to lugnet.technic)

| (...) All along, I'd thought that it would zig/zag as it walks sideways, as you've noted. But I was wrong. A, D, E and H are in one leg group. This means that A, and E are walking forward/left, and D and H are walking backard/left. This means that (...) (20 years ago, 8-May-04, to lugnet.technic)

| (...) Michael, From your brief description, it sounds like a dacta activity pack. You could narrow down the search for us by answering a few questions: 1) Is the box cardboard or plastic? Which logo is on the box (if any)? 2) Is the set 4.5V, 12V or (...) (20 years ago, 8-May-04, to lugnet.technic)

Can;t even do cross bracing with 1x15 liftarms. I'm working on another prototype that has the (...) (20 years ago, 7-May-04, to lugnet.technic)
