Sounds good. I think the whole thing will go faster, if there are less pistons
to move, because less air is required.
So, how many pistons are there? It looks like just the five. Can we put
sensors on pistons A & C to determine which state it's in? I know before, we
couldn't stop, or change direction, while all feet were down.
Also, we had discussed stopping the movement by stopping the timing pistons.
That will still be possible, right? (stop A or C?)

I think the leg lock will still be needed. How much air pressure will be
required to hold up the SSClagorpion? (hard to say)
What will happen if the compressor is turned off? Will we be able to start it
again, or can the state machine go into an unknown state?
Our friend Nick Donaldson says leg locks are required.
