walkin' sticks

Category: Walking
Progress: Completed
Cost: 99.99
Time to Build: 2 weeks

I built this from 1/4" square spruce wood cut from a two by four.  I used three servos and a Basic Stamp 2 and it walks forward, backwards and turns left and right.  It is powered by two lithium cells.  Next development step is to make it radio controlled from a transmitter.

I have to always applaud any

I have to always applaud any robot built out of wood, the underdog material.  As well as any robot with a clever design that reduces part count. This is really cool!  I gather the robot has essentially one servo to permit a set of legs to raise/drop, and a servo for each side to move the legs on that side?  Would love to see more details of the design.
