An amusing, three-legged robot named 'Inchie'. Feel free to copy or change him. I don't care if you 'republish' him. Please be patient with the movie. It takes a while to load after you click on it.

You could really fix this up. You could include how many parts needed and much more through pictures.
May 14, 2008. 8:32 AMknexguy says:
Do you mean 'thorough'?
May 15, 2008. 10:11 AMknexguy says:
He put 'much more through' and I was asking if he meant thorough. You can tell if someone is replying to someone other than you because their comment is staggered.

u could make a tiny version =] it would rotate faster and have a little more toque as the thing gets lighter and so does the weight of the arms. that would be so cool *having an army of "inchies" more like centimeteries for the tiny ones

A K'Nex device that I actually like! Well done! A video would be nice...any chance?
May 13, 2008. 2:51 AMPKM says:
Ditto... K'nex is good for something, it seems. I agree, a video would be desirable, and maybe more thoughts on how you could extend or modify the design? I'd be tempted to call the unnamed bit a crankshaft.
