- Objective: The robot lies
down and kicks its feet, then draws its legs
together to stand up, walks forward, and finally
stands on its hind legs and reaches for the
sky.
- Parts:
-
Robix
Rascal Robot Kit/Construction Set
- 3 pink erasers, Eberhard-Faber #100
"Pink Pearl" erasers, made in USA. If not
available, a similar eraser may be used,
and may have to be cut to fit tightly into
the end of the robot links.
- To learn: The three-legged
construction actually has two feet on each leg
and does a shuffling walk forward and backward,
turning as it goes if desired. It even manages
to walk across its own cabling without tripping.
Please follow the manual of the Robix Rascal
Robot kit when you build your own 3 Legged Robot.

The circular black "feet" are nylon glides which
slide easily. The other "feet" end in pink erasers
which grip the table surface. The erasers press
into the ends of the robot links, while the second
servo on each leg is clamped into the middle link.
At the end of the 3-link the circular plastic
glide is attached. These glides are white nylon,
and have a screw, washer, and wing nut to hold them
in place in the last hole of the link.
