Forever’s design comes from a Solarbotics BEP tutorial. What attracted us to this design was that it does not require mechanical stops or centering springs.

We started this robot back in January 2004. We initially soldered the LEDs in reverse, a typical newbie mistake. Other projects came up and we put the walker on the back burner. Every month of so, Joe would ask, "so, are we going to finish that Servocore walker? We’ve been working on it forever!"

We finally finished it in March of 2005, a scant 15-months after we began. I cannot help but wonder if this is a record for building a 2-motor walker. Whether it is or not, the name Forever is quite apt.
