(...) Some friends and I have been discussing that on and off, to the level of watching the movie to make sketches of leg motion.

(...) Actually, a more likely reason is that we are looking at the LEGO Mindstorms web site. No RCX --> no "Mindstorms" --> no picture. We really should collaborate on how to mechanize one of those AT-AT's! (26 years ago, 2-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.events)
