Mini Knex 4 Legged Walking Robot
This is a much simpler and easier version of my other walker. It also contains less pieces and it is smaller.
It is inspired by: https://grabcad.com/library/walking-robot-mechanism-1
and based off my other creation: https://www.instructables.com/id/Knex-4-Legged-Walker/
( Note: this works better on surfaces that are rubber/leather like. Smooth surfaces won't be effective. )
Parts list:
• 1 Motor
• 4 Purple Connecters
• 6 White/Bladk half rods
• 1 Red rod
• 1 Yellow Rod
• 4 Blue Rods
• 2 Green connectors
• 2 White snowflake connectors
• 6 Grey spacers
• 8 Blue spacers
• 6 small green connectors
• 6 purple/grey connectors ( orange connector in half )
• 6 orange connectors
• 2 Black rod/connector
• 2 Black gears
• 4 neon pieces ( to stop spacers from falling off )
