I am currently working on a eight legged walker that may end up being
ssclagorpion, but who knows.  It is using a new central timing circuit that
should allow it to complete the walking sequence in four piston transitions.

I had been in a DA for quite a while, but got myself restarted using LPub and
LSynth.

I've been building in prep for BF for many weeks.

Will this new central timing circuit allow you to attach touch sensors, so, if you
wanted, you could track the state of the walker with an RCX?

Just curious.  :)

Will this be needed if we always have at least four feet locked into weight
bearing state at a time?  I've incorporated your folding/locking table leg into
this walker.

You will want touch sensors to avoid falling off the table though I guess.

(...) Will it be necessary to switch anything at a specific time? For example, if SSC is walking forward, and it takes 3/4 of a step, then levers are flipped to make it turn (which would be reversing the legs on one side), to complete the "current" (...)
