    Another toy walking robot

    This one's a bit more complex than my last one. It took quite a bit of trial and error to get everything moving smoothly. It features a variable speed geartrain which brings the leg forward for the next step.

    Kind of looks like Boston Dynamics BigDog's puppy not grown up yet. But has a definite "kewl" factor. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1czBcnX1Ww
    Life and death don't bother me. It's that little period of time in between that bothers me.

    Thanks, I saw a wooden version and knew I had to make one. I especially like the variable gearing...something I'd never had thought of.
