Construct a rigid ramp walker with four legs (e.g. in the form of a ladder). The construction may begin to ‘walk’ down a rough ramp. Investigate how the geometry of the walker and relevant parameters affect its terminal velocity of walking.

Nonlinear dynamics and modeling of various wooden toys with impact and friction
They have studied the nonliniear dynamics of three commercial wooden toys. The toys show complex dynamical behaviour but can be studied with one-dimensional maps, which allows for a thorough analysis of the bifurcations.
