So...I wasted about 1.5 hours of my time attempting to make a walking leg. It failed but I created a complicated piece of useless junk. You can download and watch it rotate in awe.

Based on the Tokyo Institue of Technology "Walking Chair"

    Great attempt. It is really difficult to build these things. If you want, check out my build, Strandbeest Leg Mechanism
    https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/P5h1gF/Strandbeest-Leg-Mechanism
    it is quite similar to this!
