Hi all,
I'm enjoying Framsticks for some two weeks now and have been wandering if
there's a way to evolve a wheel-based land creature or something that moves
using rotation in water.

Glad to hear youve been enjoying it. I'd be interested in trading creatures
with you (and anyone else) I've evolved some interesting stuff.
As for wheels, im sure it could be done....have a straight "axle" with a
tongue (both two segments)...the axle connects to semicircular stick
formations at a right angle....the "wheel"...on each side. This construction
would have to be rigid to support its own weight, plus the weight of the
axle. the "tongue" would then touch the ground to pus the axle. it would
probably be too long to roll along, though, im just realizing, hehe....but
im sure there's a way to make the fram "throw" itslef forward. It would help
having a hill to roll down first too to get some energy, and maybe evolve
the contractions on its own or something. The more i htink about it, the
more complex it gets, hehe.....but where there's a will, there's a way.
Maybe macej has some comments on this, hehe, or ander (i think thats his
name) -- those are the only folks ive seen on the news group recently.
Some reports on my recent experiments are coming shortly. 8)

you want something like
front |-|
side +
for a two sided wheel look at the blender fram that was submitted a while back by Jeff Weber
