Imperial Walkers

The last project idea is to implement a n-legged walker capable of supporting a maximum weight while maintaining linear travel. Winning entrants will have the best weight to leg ratios and longest distance traveled. Stability will be the key issue here as a two legged creature will not be able to support nearly the same amount as a six legged creature. Students will have devise creative methods of load distribution and gearing methods to allow the robot to move.
