Hey guys.... I am thinking about making some kind of walker Vehicle, with Six legs... I might give it wheels instead of feet... I want to at least make it seam realistic, like it could actually work, unlike my last design in the last competition...This design WILL NOT be based off of any kind of Starwars Vehicle or my last walker design, but how it moves (if it uses feet) will be taken off of the design of the AT TE, That is just how it walks, if I give it wheels, then the leg design, will be for Suspension... I think this will be made to walk in the snow, but maybe to walk on the Mars surface. I want to make it for one to two people, with a full cockpit design... So.... What do you think? Sorry can't start a sketch when I am at work.... Let me know what you think! THanks alot,
Brian
