My goal in building Twirp was to make the smallest walker I could that would walk without dragging its feet and use a gear motor.

Once I get the micromotor, I should be able to make a very small walker that carries its own power, and I'll post some pics as soon as I can.

James,

First off, congratulations on Twirp. It is definately very cool! I would
like to see you tweak your stated goal to include the power. In other words,
can you make a walker as cool as Twirp but that carries its power with it?

Good luck,
Jona


Thanks Jona,

Do you mean I should build a small walker that carries power and uses a gear
motor? I could definitely work on that. It would be a little bigger, but I
could try to keep it compact and build a little coolness into the design :).
Also, the instructions for Twirp are on Brickshelf now, here's the link:

(...) Yes, that is pretty much exactly what I meant. I think the smallness factor enhances the coolness factor. They both are further enhanced (IMO) when you add power, even if the size increases slightly. I will be attempting a build of Twirp soon. (...) (22 years ago, 31-Mar-03, to lugnet.technic)
