This is my Theo Jansen inspired walking machine making its first tracks at burning man 2012. It's powered by two commercial dishwasher gear motors I recycled. Total power is around 800 watts. weight is around 1800 lbs. It has motor speed controllers to turn and independent forward and reverse on the right and left sides. Top speed at the moment is .2 miles per hour. size is 12' x 12' x 12'
