That is awesome. Could you put a vid of it in action. I love the style
- it is functional, but equally stylish - the way you have arranged
the cabling makes it look really something. I can really imagine that
as a spider tank model looking rather fantastic.

Could you do a pneumatic logic diagram of it? There are so many
connections there - I am pretty bewildered after trying to follow what
went where - I imagine it is segmented, and with a couple of sections
- each leg is basically the same in relation to the previous leg (or
another leg depending on the gait set up).

Anyway - thoroughly amazed at it!
Danny

(...) Hi Danny, Thanks for the feedback! Before I dig up a circuit diagram, I'll show you the timing diagram for my original hexapod, hex363: (URL) Hex363 can only walk forward, but has a hexagonal body. It gets its name based on the sequence of the (...) (21 years ago, 2-May-05, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

I uploaded some pictures of PhD 2, that some of you saw at BrickFest 2004. PhD2 is a neat and tidy version of its predecessor Hex-363. PhD2 can adjust the sweep direction of each of its legs, allowing to walk any of six directions (forward, forward (...) (21 years ago, 1-May-05, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)
