Brad,

If your first question is stupid, then I must be a complete fool. To me you
sound not so much as a "beginner".

And as far as part 2 is concerned, Not that I know of. And there are
probably some people who want to do the same thing. But I think it must look
great to watch a walker "look in a direction" and then walk that way.

I am sorry I can't help you much. But what I have learned from the people
here, is mostly "be creative".

Best,
Arno

Hello list
I have a few questions i would like to get anserwed that are proballly
redundant and stupid for the advanced builders.

1.when driving hobby servoes on a 2 mortor 4 leged walker, which is
better to use, a 74xx245 or an h-bridge? i ask because 3 245's wound
drive a servo @3v. This is my main concern, to get it walking and then
add all the things to make it a robot.

2. Sorry to be general, but could anyone explain/ give a good site in
how to incorperate a head into a walker for reversing and turning?


Thanks for all of your help, it will be very much appricated.

BG
