Giant pneumatic walker, testing to see if it can raise on its own. Started as a 6 legged walker however was too unstable. Also had to half Lego length. Major issue with turntables breaking
@KEvronista Your clocks are fantastic, I had a go at making one ages ago and failed, Only because the programming I used to work out RPM did not support decimal points and ended up with a 45 second minute
i've got to throw together my grasshopper clock. i've built the escapement and i've finally got a robin remontoire i can live with. it promises to be a daunting task; i've just got to muster the will to tackle it. i've also gathered the necessary elements to construct a rolling ball clock, but that project's living on the back burner.
i barely have the intertoobs, bub. i find that internet forums such as youtube and eurobricks provide me the sufficient conduits for communication. anything more would be just another confounded electronic doodad with which to frustrate myself.
the clip is from "young frankemstein". after demonstrating the creature's dubious ambulatory prowess, they follow with a soft-shoe duet. i thought it was appropriate to this video. heh!
@burf2000
it'd be my pleasure. i've bent a few ears, myself, in learning the craft.

a "45 second minute"
they'll beat a pathway to your door!
a simple correction is to add a 4:3 (16t:12t) gear reduction to the drive; turn that 45 secs into a minute.
