cassie was thinking of a bot based on a rabbit.
IE some kind of spring powered hopping foot thing with some kind of rotational doohickey to turn.
ant or beetle class.

I was wondering, since it doesn't have wheels, and has no "shuffle" or other cheat, is it a walker?

Yes, but ask your local EO. I am inclined to give any robot with an inventive locomotion system the bonus

Technically, IIRC, the rules say multiple independantly actuated degrees of freedom for the drive elements..

So cams, levers, square/offset wheels, shuffle plates etc are all just funny shaped wheels when you eliminate the smoke and mirrors.

Practically however, if you have something cool in mind that shows a novel form of motivation and isnt an obvious attempt to gain a weight bonus that is then used to the benefit of the armour or weapons systems rather than enabling the funky-drive system, then I would imagine most EO's and Competitors wouldnt have a problem with it.

Its only when bush lawyers wrap a disguised wheel system to get the bonus around 2 x E-Teks that people get narky

Such as the translation using the gyroscopic effect of a tilted disc.

That only lasted one event before it was *fixed* in RFL rules.
