Um, George... this isn't a new idea. Andrew Miller produced his... um...
eclectic walker pages ages ago, and one could certainly consider the
Solarbotics site in this category.. The first (and I still think
excellent) comprehensive site is Brian Bush's (see below, BEAM Tek). Last
July I came up with one that I hoped would invite writing by folks who
wanted their ideas to be available in the long-term: not much is actually
being added to the site, but it gets a fairish amount of traffic and One Of
These Days I'll finish putting in the mailing list archive. Chiu's was the
successor of Miller's page, producing a great tutorial on building a
walker. There was Dennison's attempt to create a dead-trees version (a
booklet) which had to be abandoned because of copyright problems. And
then, of course, there is Ian's site which has pictures and schematics out
the kazoo. I do aplogize for anyone I've left out.
What do you WANT, George???
