Here is video of Theo Jnr completing a circuit of the test mat oval for the NXTasy challenge.
He's pretty slow - clocking in at a sedate 80 seconds for the lap, but I'm rather pleased with his smooth and stately progress round the track. I know the challenge doesn't close until March, but I kind of feel that this is as fast as Theo Jnr will get and, rather than tweaking this robot, I want to get on and build some new ones.
The LDD file which you can use to make building instructions for Theo Jnr is now available on NXTlog.
Have thoroughly enjoyed building this robot for the NXTasy challenge, prompted me to complete my efforts to build a Lego version of one of Theo Jansen's walking machines.

That is great what a great design. I wonder if it could be streached out, to make longer? not for nxtasy but just to see if this design could be a good off road walker? Great example of the THeo walker.
Thanks mate. Delighted with it (despite it's rather slow speed!)
Have just finished an LDD file for it too, which will shortly be available on NXTlog. Complete pig to do, but worth it in the end. I am now heartily sick of Theo, having spent a very long time on one robot, much longer than I normally do.
Looking forward to building something else, although I might make a wee trip to Bricklink and see how many short axles I could get hold of - I do like your idea of a super-long Theo!
