<< Hi people,

I was just wondering what circuit is the most reliable for building a
walker. I want to build my first 2 motor walker which will work when I put
all the components in and I won't have to fiddle. I would like a reverser
and possibly intergrate a lightseeking head but if that's too complex I'll
do with a plain walker.


Any comments, suggestions or experiences very welcome

I too was a almost complete walker fan, however light seeking is a bit out of
the question for that circuit, i tried for weeks to get it to work! You can
check it out a http://www.botic.com/users/beamtastic/pics.html its at the
bottom, however it wont be there in a couple of days, i'm changing the sites
name to "the beam pit stop". Good luck!!!!!

I've seen spyder, and its awesome, are those knees controlled by another
bicore, is that what your getting at?

Spyder was built in the pre-bicore days. It is built using a central
microcore and then four open chain 'fractal' microcores. Check out the
patent if you want a topological drawing.
