I know that I have at least 100 pistons, at at least twice that many switches.
I'll have to disassemble some projects to make them available. I'll want to
document caterpillar, and complete PhD before I disassemble it. After that no
problems.

I encourage each of you to prototype the pneumatic leg designs. Each degree of
freedom requires two switches for instrumentation. The critical skill I provide
is how to design and hook together all the switches and pistons into a
sequencer. You are both highly skilled builders of mechanical devices,
equalling or bettering my mechanical skills.

I'm totally committed to finishing the project in plenty of time for BrickFest.

I think we'll have to start here, and possibly recreate it later when a
benefactor gives us the parts we need to make a duplicate.
