This eliminates the concerns about piston leverage for putting the feet down and
keeping them weight bearing.
This allows us to have the legs be longer, more like a real scorpion, but this
brings us to the next leverage problem: Forward/Backwards sweep. The longer
the leg, the farther the body travels in a leg sweep, but this is probably at
the expense of speed given the leverage issue, right?
So what kind of leverage ratios should we use?
