    Hi Gary
    Your quote
    "Here's a true walker!" So we can deduce that for you, a true walker is one that doesn't work! I'm joking naturally.
    I think we have made some progress. My aim is to have a set of clear tests that confirm the Walker badge under the FRA build rules
    I am looking for the minimum (for simplicity's sake) to satisfy the criteria set out in the current rules.
    1/ It is supported only on it's legs during its walking or turning phase.
    2/ Two degrees of movement must be proved, possibly by showing the gait can be adjusted on a leg Step height or length if necessary.
    3/ can anyone think of other tests relating to the rules only, not what you think should be their.

    I disagree that the rules say you have to be able to adjust the step length, I interpret than as meaning you must be able to make the leg go up and down and then separately make them move backwards and forwards, do you could have it so it has a set height that it can travel up and down due to a cam based mechanism, as long as the up and down motion is separate from the backwards and forwards motion.
    I am not sure if I am understanding you fully but you also seem to suggest that you have I be able to adjust each leg individually which agin I don't think is set out by the rules.
    Just my interpretation
