Re: Walk, walk you sand creature, walk
We have a CADded up design for a walking T-shirt launcher based on Theo Jansen's work. We also have the aluminum cut and ready to assemble and weld... if our capital project wouldn't have taken away our (not yet returned) shop space last spring, we'd probably have a toughbox-driven twelve-legger launching T-shirts as we speak!

But yeah, Jansen's machines are awesome.
