Notes accompanying the photo's in this folder:

These are photo's of two of my most cherished creations (dating from sometime late 1980's, early 1990's). My apologies for the low quality of the photo's. I had already disassembled the creations when I found out the photo's turned out so poor and therefore couldn't reshoot them. Nonetheless I hope they can be of some inspiration to you.

** walking_spider_01.jpg, walking_spider_02.jpg

This 4-legged spider was driven by a single 4.5V motor and moved itself forward/backward by circular motion of its legs.

Unfortunately the legs weren't strong enough to support the weight (static ground clearance of a few mm) and the motor was't strong enough to drive it without a little help.

The eyes are 2 4.5V lights and the head swivels around a vertical axis
