CP5670 Posted July 6, 2019 M:Tron mech for prospecting ore fields in rough terrain. It walks forward automatically when filled with air pressure using a sequence of 8 pneumatic pistons (in trans neon green) and 14 switches. Inspired by Kevin Clague's walkers, various leg motions are synchronized and move in lock-step to keep the mech stable. This is a repost of a thread in the Technic section, I figured I would post it here too since the sci-fi forum attracts a different crowd.

LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted July 9, 2019 Oh gosh ...what a beautiful creation! I like the use of the old technic wheels Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CP5670 Posted July 10, 2019 (edited) Thanks all! I went through several different choices for the wheels and settled on these. These are big enough for the model to stand upright on two feet (essential for the walking to work), but not so big that they look weird.
