Subject: New "walker" bot idea...
>
>OK...
>
> Picture a shoebox, with arms like turbot at the very front,
protruding from the sides. only not at angles, parallel to the box. when the
arms swing around, it will lift up the front end of the box and drag the
whole thing forward, setting it down, and the arms come around again.
>Can anyone understand my explanation???
>How about with 4 legs, 2 on the front, 2 on the back, so it lifts the whole
thing instead of dragging the back? and to turn, move either one side at a
time for slow turning, or both sides in opposite directions for a faster
turn. Kool??? Well???
