(...) I'm not sure how you could use any of the doors w/ handles, since the handled-door panels have to be on the end of a series of doors... Might run the risk of popping apart too, I dunno... I asked a while ago in a thread about making custom (...) (19 years ago, 25-Jul-05, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I think I still prefer the method of using technic tread links with 1x6 bricks for medium sized treads, and for huge treads - using hinges.

VERY cool robot. As computer science student, I'm always interested in new and unusual robots. Your friend wouldn't have some instructions for building this robot, would he? Or perhaps a webpage with more information? - Allan "Kevin L. Clague" (...) (19 years ago, 24-Jul-05, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

I don't know if any of you saw this fabulous pneumatic hexapod, but my friend Sigurd van Starkenberg: (URL) walks forward, backward and turns right and left. The thing that makes this superior to prior work is an elbow mid arm, that lengthens for (...) (19 years ago, 24-Jul-05, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.robotics) !
