A Walking Table?

ajward

Just saw this on Instructables. Don't think it "walks" under its own power (if at all), but it's made of wood... something that might catch erco's attention!
Maybe a BS1 and a handful of cheap servos from China... who knows.

I saw that today too. I suppose if you push on it it "walks". Maybe?

+1 and :thumb::thumb:...
(insert long winded rant about how casters are for the lazy, and the bane of inspiration!...)

I can't prove it, but years ago, I did build a small version of a "walking" chair.
And, as I remember, it was very finicky to get all the parts to move just right without binding..

I'm still uncertain this is a step in the right direction. What's wrong with wheels?
