Heh, Notice how the BattleBots Vets are reappearing now that Battlebots has another TV deal in the works ? Wink

Looks Very Donald Hutson-ish - Disector Jaws, Tubular Construction, and Checkerplate. Interesting how the builders all have their own signature look.

A video of it moving would be nice.

If I reverse engineer one of these and supersize it would it get a walker bonus?

Shufflers which aren't shufflers for the sake of just getting the bonus will be fine at events I am an EO at.

I've been doing a lot of drawing on a new walker design. However it is over weight and has a few clashes that need fixing. But before I go fixing those problem I need to know if it is a walker under our rules. Here are some design specs:
- Six legs
- 2 motors, one for forward/reverse, one for steering
- Each leg has 2 degrees of freedom. If either of the 2 motors are removed the legs will flop and the system won't work
- It does rely on continous motion from the drive motor to walk forward

Sorry the video isn't clear. Inventor wasn't running smooth with driving 811 parts.

Don't care any event you enter this in I will give it 200% bonus. If its not a proper walker I count it under the interesting rule.

While only the EO opinions ultimately matter, in my opinion, this is entirely within the spirit of the walker rules.
