Analyzing Your Walker
This model is made so that it can perform the correct walking
motions on only one motor. An essential part of this walking
mechanism is the opposite-pointing cams. What if the cams were
not pointing in opposite directions? How would the walker walk if
the cams were pointing in the same direction? Or in perpendicular
directions? You can test these motions with the hand crank at the
back of the model or by running the motor.
