The Nightmare Machine
This is an electromechanical crawling thing I built to demonstrate a linkage I invented. The linkage converts rotational motion into a good walking gait. The crawling thing plays a lullaby on a music box to keep you sleeping as it sneaks up on you. This picture is from last year's Maker Faire (spring 2007). The illustration below shows how the linkage works. Video will be up soon.
