NanoWalker Mk. II

[sofo13th]

Hello.

The original model (Mk. I. on video) has for over a year. And about its modernization, I began to think almost immediately after its creation.

But proceed to the practical part decided just a couple of months ago.

And in the holidays, I finished it - NanoWalker Mk. II.

The model was slightly longer and slightly higher - the price paid for new transmission.

I've tried, probably, a dozen variants, while receive a workable.

The main feature of the new version - the ability to move in different directions.

LDD-file (both versions)

@ sofo13th: Whoa, this is tiny! I imported your LDD file and when I opened it up, there are three NanoWalkers shown. Which one is the Mk. II -- the one on the bottom-right of the LDD screen?

Do you think that your NanoWalkers could work wirelessly if it had a 9V Battery riding "piggy back" (with this adapter) together with a Power Functions Receiver?

Yes. Upper-left of screen - symmetrical - is Mk. I. Bottom-right couple (more precisely one and a half) is Mk. II.

Do you think that your NanoWalkers could work wirelessly if it had a 9V Battery riding "piggy back" (with this adapter) together with a Power Functions Receiver?

Again yes. But the weakest place - fixing of feet to axles with gears - need to be strengthened (I cheated, used small pieces of paper). :)
