All right, time to tear my last biped apart and build a new one with this new

Just a follow-up -- all I had to do was slightly redesign and reattach the feet,
with the cam-driven connection on the outside and the stabilizing connections on
the inside.  It now walks quite reliably!  Very cool.

Congratulations!  Always happy to help out a biped fan.  I love them.

Make sure you take a picture and post it here, so you can be added to the
"Walker Madness" list.


This bot is cute in a sort of ugly way (like a bulldog), but I think I'll try to
build something a little more sleek and compact.  Using the motor I have makes
it a bit of a pain, because I need a lot of gears to bring the speed down (and
torque up) to where it needs to be, but I'm sure I can pack it in a little
better than this first prototype.

For me, building is about experimenting and exploring.  Each of my MOC's
(department of redundancy department?)  is an experiment of some new idea I've
come up with.  For me, they are all prototypes!


Thanks again,

Keep us posted of any new ideas or creations!
