Another toy walking robot

[Dave West]

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.

Nice, are you willing to share the design?

[Frank Corker]

Nice bit of mechanics there Dave, smooth movement of the robot too. Well done.

[Gordon Kircher]

Great Job! Nice movement.

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

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.
