Not really, if you start with a hexapod and break the legs down into two
groups of three (you get stability that way) you should be able to do it
with two outputs (one for start/stop the other for for/rev).
As an aside, and a rather odd synchronicity, I just finished reading an
old book (I'd never read before),
Walking Machines
An Introduction to Walking Robots
D.J. Todd
ISBN 0-85038-932-1
You might find it interesting.
