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.

Oh, you have the gray motor. try my other design. The gray motor is fast, but gutless, it has no strength. the purple motor is slower, and stronger. Just click on my picture, and you can see the other model.

You could really fix this up. You could include how many parts needed and much more through pictures.

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.

Well, actually, I thought that since it was a simple design it wouldn't really matter, but then again I might do just that, thanks!

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

If you want to make it smaller, it's actually quite simple, just a 'down-grading' of a few pieces. My motor doesn't really show a big difference in how fast it moves due to weight on it. If it get too loaded down it stops and 'clicks'. It either rotates or it doesn't. As for making it smaller, I've always been doing some work on it to try to improve it, I just chose to put the original one on here. This is only my first Instructable.

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.

Crankshaft it is! I don't completely understand what you mean by modify it, but I'll try to answer. I actually made one with two legs instead of three, but that's another instructable(archie). It doesn't necessarily walk, but rather wobbles. I'm still working on one that actually stands on one foot at a time. Otherwise you could put simplified guns on it, just as long as you keep it balanced.
