Havoc is my second scratchbuilt walker. He's called Havoc because of the havoc he created when I firstturned him on. He was much more lively than I was expecting and he jumped out ofmy hands onto the table. As I dived for him I managed to yank the soldering ironand topple the table and a bottle of superglue solvent over on top of the robot.Squish :-( Some rebuilding was required.

Circuit Master Slave Bicore

Behaviour Havoc trotts forward at quite a rate. His legs skid a lot. I think he couldbe better balanced. He has fine antenna at the front that trigger Havoc toreverse for a time if they detects an obstruction. Havoc drains batteries at analarming rate.
