I made it out of molded plastic pieces. The new 2 part plastic and rubber stuff on the market is awsome, but oh man, what I mess. Anyway, most parts were made using clay, pieces of plastic... whatever to make an original of the correct shape, then rubber dumped on it to make a mold, and plastic mixed and dumped into the mold. (Well, thats a very basic explanation, but you get the idea).

Hi Jaimie,

Awesome walker! Do you have a web page for it? I'd love to know more about it's locomotion.

What plastic casting product did you use? You can add dye to the resin to change the color.

Give away all my secrets? I'm hoping to market some of my silly inventions someday. I guess I've been hoping to run into someone to help with that. Business people are so flaky! I do have a website. Here's the page with some other robotic sorts of things.

Oh, and I used smooth-on products.
Yep, you can add pigmant to the plastic.
