Geared-Ant walker hexapod robot lego technic

My first Lego walker robot in a "antimindstorms"-series.
It works without electronics!
This creation is not remote controlled; it works pure mechanical and it's "brains" contains only two rubberbands, some gears and a switch!
As you can see it backs-up when it hits the wall and then moves forwards again after a few seconds.
The goal was to create a "clever" and very small lego-bot without electronics.
What you see is only one Batterybox, one geared-motor and one polarity-switch!!!!
Plus some gears and additional Lego of course...
It contains only 100% original Lego-pieces, except for the batteries.
(This is also valid for all my other models! )
Another thing is that it's able to walk for over 80 hours on one Lithium 9V-battery. (!)
You might imagine that I'm very proud of this model.
Please; feel free to comment!

Amazing! Is there a web site with more information?

[MennoGorter]

Thanks.

There is no other website yet.

In my opinion it's no challenge if all the secrets are revealed...

Maybe in time I start a blog or write a book.

Did you see my other video's?

[chazzers77]

u say it has no electronics but then u say it has motors ?

[MennoGorter]

Electronics and electricity are two different things! ;-)

I didn't use any Mindstorms, other computing or semi-conducting.

Nicely done. :-)
