​New to linkages?  For some easier builds like Punchers, Jumpers and Hoppers check out Linkage Warm Ups.

​If you want to create a custom linkage for your walker like the below simulation of Strandbeest's linkage optimized for LEGO, see Customize where you can find online optimizers for each mechanism.
​
Strider's linkage plans can be found here.

​​TrotBot's linkage plans can be found here.

​Scott Anderson created his own 3D-printed, phone-controlled version of TrotBot - you can find his plans here.
