Over on abpw I posted a link to a video of a hopping roo. I then offered to share a rough plan and a few tips on making one. It seems to have been quite popular so with the coming Christmas season I thought I'd share it with the wider rec audience.
The video is here:

Funny how much of a buzz I am getting from seeing this be so popular.
I hope a lot of kids enjoy it. :)
