Build a Strandbeest Replica Of Your Very Own

Theo Jansen, renowned for his large walking Strandbeest creations, inspires a smaller-scale version guided by Antonio Garcia. This build embraces traditional crafting with popsicle sticks for legs, toothpicks for joints, and a cardboard box as the main body. The propulsion system is a simple brushed DC motor powered by AA batteries. Garcia’s guide offers a hands-on approach to creating a miniature walking mechanism reminiscent of Jansen’s iconic designs.
