This is Little Joe - a Lego robot biped walker.
He was originally supposed to be my entry for the NXTlog biped competition, but didn't get him finished in time. However, I am mightily pleased with him, even if he did take longer to get walking than planned.
Little Joe was inspired by one of Joe Nagata's excellent walkers (link to site at bottom of page), but the design has altered pretty significantly from the original - I think the feet and ankle elements are about the only unaltered sections left.
Anyway, Little Joe is named as a tip o' the hat to Joe Nagata for being one of the best NXT builders out there and an inspiration to the rest of us.

Very nice, walkers are hard to build, especially monomotors. My last attempt at that fell over sideways every 10 steps or so! :D
It is sorta like the ASIMO prototype... has a hard time keeping balance! Really cool, by the way.
