The following instructions detail how to build a Servocore walker.

This position feedback allows for very long stride lengths without the use of mechanical stops or springs.

Solarbotics Ltd. is pleased to announce the re-unveiling of Solarbotics.net. Solarbotics.net is a BEAM Community Server that we, at Solarbotics are proud to sponsor.
Our involvement with Solarbotics.net is as a hardware sponsor - we are providing the server hardware and the bandwidth for this project. It is being managed at arm's-length by Eric Seale, of "BEAM from the Ground Up", with contributions from ourselves at Solarbotics, Wilf Rigter, Bruce Robinson, and many, many others.
Besides being a repository of BEAM knowledge, Solarbotics.net is also providing free web hosting to people for their BEAM-related projects, with no banner advertising, no pop-ups, pop-unders, SPAM lists, or any other obtrusive advertising.
It's in our interest to ensure a strong BEAM community, and this is one of the best ways we know how to do so. So head on over, and give it a look - it's an impressive collection of information!
