I did a "gyrobot" a while ago. It's the only "walker" mechanism I've ever come up with that actually has controlled movement.

I believe Sonny made a true walker once for BotM. It was even available for download (before we had the exchange).

Unfortunately true walkers can't move in RA2 due to the low friction of both components and the arena floors.  You can make a walker, but it can't push off the floor because there is no friction to push against.  The closest you can come to walking is a froglike 'hopping' motion.
 
Now, if you had a custom arena with a high-friction floor and custom high-friction components, that would be another story.  But of course, regular wheeled bots can't drive on high-friction floors.

(noob question) why can't wheeled machines use high-friction floors?

MLP themed one.
i second this


No



They'd find out that we all like MLP in the first week anyway.


Again, no. Living proof right here.

Walkers would be fun. Or maybe DSL VS? ;P (we haven't had it in a loooong time, to be fair)
