Thanks Bob. To my knowlege, you have recreated more of MOC's than anyone else.
I see your work on brickshelf.

In PhD, there are 8 new switches per hip, making a total of 12 switches per leg.
The grand total is 74 pneumatic switches, 12 large dual ported pistons, and 4
small dual ported pistons.
The eight new switches create four pneumatic multiplexors. Two muxes are
combined into 1 polarity reversor. One reversor is used to reverse the sweep of
the leg (via the hip piston). The other reversor is used to swap the outputs of
the two switches that instrument the hip sweep.
PhD is not for the small of checking account I guess.
PhD will cost you eleven 8455 backhoes. Gack! That is $1,100....... I suggest
using bricklink instead.

Thanks for the nudge Bob. I've added these parts to the MPD file and uploaded
it again as:
