How to make the one motor walker (without bicore)

Hi guys, maybe some of you are familiar to Jerome Demers one motor walkerand  other one or  two motor B.E.A.M walkers. This project is highly inspired by those things. The idea  is to build  a walking machine that has similar gait to one or two motors B.E.A.M walking robots . The oscillating motions on the legs of B.E.A.M walker produces by an amazing small circuit created by Mark Tilden calledbicore. In this project, the oscillating motion produces by linkage mechanism. The reason why I designed this mechanism because I had very basic knowledge about electronic back then, and I was really excited to be able to build a B.E.A.M walker. It was a big challenge that I finally completed through some experiments.

Step 1: The mechanism

Step 2: Parts needed

(1x) full rotation micro servo
(2x) jumbo paper clips
(1x) small paper clip
(2x) terminal blocks (3mm)
(1x) terminal block (4mm)
(1X) used aluminium curtain rail
(1X) random plastic bar
Iron wire (2 mm)
Double-sided tape
Brass tube
(1X) small zip tie
(1X) battery holder (2 x AAA)
(2X) lock nuts (3mm)
(3X) nuts & screws (3mm)
(1x) nut & screw (4mm)
(5x) washers (3mm)
(1X) washer (4mm)

Step 3: Parts maps

Step 4: Tools

Screwdrivers
Pliers
Hot glue gun
Multi function tool
Scissors

Step 6: Front leg

Step 7: Rear leg

Step 8: Mounting the legs

Step 9: Linkages

Step 10: Mounting the linkage

Step 11: Final touch

Finally just connect the wire directly from  servo to batteries, then the robot will roam your living room :)
