Hi Travis,
Nice to see another person into walkers. If you are interested in other
walker ideas I recommend two sites:
http://www.users.qwest.net/~kclague - this is my site.
http://www.geocities.com/technicpuppy/lblinks.html - my fried Miguel
Agullo's site.
Miguels and I are very interested in LEGO bipeds. Miguel's page is the
single largest list of links to people's bipeds that I know of.
I'm currently working on the largest biped I've ever tried. It is all
pneumatic with a total of 18 medium pistons (seven for creating the
expansion/contraction sequence for the 10 pistons used as muscles at the
hips, knees and ankles. All the pneumatic circuitry works. It has two
degrees of freedom at the hips, knees and ankles. As always, it is a matter
of not falling over and not getting the feet tangled. I hope I can make it
work.
