Trials of getting my 8-legged "ClearWalker" clear polycarbonate Strandbeest walking.
Though I'm pleased with the results, I can't wait to see how this build progresses. Plans include: a moveable heat and tail, lights, full smartphone-based remote control, and possibly a camera. Subscribe or check back to see what comes next!
0:14 - Summary of part 1
0:29 - Attempt #1 start
