About this model
This is a walking "robot" based on a fantastic design that I believe should be credited to Saurav Chakraborty. Search for "Brainergiser" in YouTube to see his other amazing creations! My version works on the sample principle. I love how this toy moves ... it's a seemingly unstoppable machine. I asked some elementary students what it should be called and one little girl suggested "Flippy" because it will flip upside-down sometimes when trying to walk over uneven surfaces. What's great is that it just keeps on going upside-down, and will sometimes right itself after encountering another object in its way. Check out this thing in action: Print out 2 copies of each of the files (except the connector). **The body .STL is the left side, mirror it in your slicer to make the right side.**
