thanks for the comments
yes, what you described is correct. the blades of the worm gear are angled
acutely enough so that the up/down movement of the legs is not affected by
the back/forth. with just one motor, you cant have too many axes of freedom.
anyways im planning on inputting this model into mlcad, that way it will be
easier to understand.
