This is a cool little beastie, but the slop in Lego gears might do it in
if it were enlarged for our consumption.
Two (possibly stupid) questions:
1. I can see how it can walk straight forward and turn in place, but what
happens if you try to make it walk in a circle? One side would have to
run slower than the other. What happens to the gait if the sides get out
of sync?
2. If you had a fast enough motor and a resilient enough system, could
this be made to skitter? Or do you need more leg joints for that? I have
a vision of something like this (non-Lego) on an offroad R/C car chassis,
with R/C car motors and batteries, and a buggy body... heheheh, get it?
Buggy?
