Trial and error mostly Dan! Its a 4wd system with the simple leg mechanism attached. You can come and have a closer look at the AWS.

Not sure anyone actually reads my thread but my team is complete for the AWS.

First up, I aquired an old walker called Orkan in pretty bad shape, but I've fixed it up, got the disc spinning again and put eyes on it. It is now called Dibby.



Then for my others I've completely started again, so weapons! Tools! Actual building! (And still some duct tape of course). I wanted them all to be as wide as possible but even I am shocked at how big they are without going beyond the 4 inch cube.

i'm loving those robots Dave! welcome to the clampbot club! i so want to fight against that walker regardless of the fact it's a spinner.

I was in the clampbot club waaaayyyy back bud. But it was Thunder Strike that made me want to re-enter it.
