Well, the problem being mostly that at present I can just move the legs
nearly instantly to where I want, using only one hand (the other hand is
needed [and whatever else I can use]) to balance the AT-AT from falling
over... So mostly I would expect any speed gained in setup time would be
from not having to 'fine tune' it so much since each joint would be
sturdier... But I dunno? It may be worth a shot...
