Roller-Walker (skating) Robot

September 6, 2007 by Will O'Brien 9 Comments


[Max T] sent in this interesting robot design. I dig the combo motion design. The legs can walk, or the wheels flip out time machine style to roll the robot around. Rather than power the wheels, the legs are used to skate the robot around – like a human on skates.
