Knex Simple Walker

This is a very simple waking machine I made. Its sturdy and reliable, and fun to watch as it crawls across the floor.

It also uses a small amount of pieces, and one of the more common motors.

Enjoy!

This is the parts list. There are not many used.

Connectors
2 white
36 purple
10 yellow
8 green
14 red

Rods
2 red
23 yellow
10 blue
10 white
28 green

Miscellaneous
16 blue spacers
22 silver spacers
Other
1 Knex Powerpack (Short or long stringed, doesn't matter).

These are the sides that rotate around the core.

1: Make this. Remember the green rods
2: Make this part as well. Make sure to get the spacers right
3: Close up...
4: Put the two together to get this
5: Make its twin. It is an exact mirror image
6: Put two red rods on one of the sides like this.

:-D

This is the inner part of the walker that houses the motor.

1: Make this panel
2: Make another panel and put the rods on like so
3: That piece from another angle. Those are tan clips on blue rods
4: Slip the motor onto the panel like so
5: Put the other panel on and put two more tan caps on the blue rods at the top
6: Get these pieces ready
7: Put it through the white connector like so, and put the other spacer and red connector on the other side. Make sure that they are connected facing the same direction
8: It should look like this from above
9: Make make this attachment on the end. Pretty simple
10: Make another one on the other end
11: It should now look like this. Notice that all the reds are facing the same direction

Time to put the two bits together! This is easy. Make sure you have all the spacers in their right spots.

1: Take the side with the reds and position it with the core like so
2: Connect all the blue rods to the red connectors on the core
3: Close up
4: Put the other side on the same way
5: Connect The red rod going across like so

Whoop whoop, you are done!

This is really easy. Just throw the switch and watch it go!
