Best surface for Shuffel walker Robots

[DavidM]

Hi All , my question is what would be an Ideal surface for Most shuffel walker Robots to walk on ? I have a 1990’s Tin Tom Toys Smoking Robot and  it walks good on surfaces with alittle texture on it such as wood grain  or a painted surface . On surfaces with any shininess like marble countertops or any slick surface he’ll shuffel in place side to side . Thanks David M.

Hi David!    
Wood with a slight grain, like you mention works well for some.  

I think paper works nicely when testing repairs - wheels, ratchet mechs, & such - a couple of pieces taped down seem to give the toy something to work with.
Good luck!
