I would consider "6 feet long and 3 feet >high" to be "not very small" either. Brooks has mentioned things like >"3-kilogram Mars rovers", but I don't remember exact linear dimensions >for the rovers that his group at MIT is currently working with. (It's >definitely less than 6' x 3' though.) The first walker that Brooks and his people built is about 13" long with a leg span of 10". The next generation which is currently being developed will be 14" long by 12" wide. -- Jim Vallino Siemens Corporate Research, Inc., Princeton, NJ jrv@demon.siemens.com princeton!siemens!demon!jrv (609) 734-3331
