Ahh... I also started off in beam and electronics with a walker... built 3
more after that...
On thing from experience: It cost be ALOT of trouble and money - mostly for
replacing parts, getting better ones etc... But thats learning from
experience - my next walkers were alot cheaper - almost free, and took a lot
less time to build.

Go to electronics stores, (never Radio Shack) to buy parts. Go to your local
garbage store - i got computer circuit boards, and drives, or about 6
quality stepper motors, or a nice answering machine with a good motor, and
some useful components for only a few bucks... (you buy stuff by weight. For
gearmotors - there are several online places... but have a look at the LEGO
micromotors... goto www.lego.com and find your local shop at home service.
Theyre real sleek 1 cm cubed motors, extremely efficient, and run at 32 rpm
at i think 9 V...$17.50 CAN shipping and handling included in price.
