Nope, just experimented a bit.
If your interested, the math involved in moving this platform using servo
motors and feedback
is all written up in Killough's patent on this invention.
I got a bit more curious after building the model and went off to
http://patent.womplex.ibm.com to look it up.

Have you done the math to figure out how to make it move in an arbitrary

But then it is just a model and well worth buiding for that purpose.
It's really neat to watch in operation. I've had this one running in
triangles, squares, and spirals just for fun. :-)
I'll put up some video sometime soon.
