I don't know if any of you saw this fabulous pneumatic hexapod, but my friend
Sigurd van Starkenberg:

http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=137658

It walks forward, backward and turns right and left.

The thing that makes this superior to prior work is an elbow mid arm, that
lengthens for walking, and shortens for turns!

Great job Sigurd!

Kevin

Or perhaps a webpage with more information? - Allan "Kevin L. Clague" (...) (19 years ago, 24-Jul-05, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)
