It's fairly simple with a tripod gait. First, get it working walking
forward ... watch how it walks until you understand what is happening.
Then reverse the action to get your 'bot to walk backwards. Watch it
for awhile more. Now to turn left have the left legs walk backwards
while the right legs walk forward ... reverse this for a right turn.
Pretty simple and works just fine.
Good luck and have fun,
