Now, I have a question about the "logic" behind walking sideways. When
SSClagorpion is done walking sideways, and it starts walking forward, will the
legs all be in the same position in/out, or will 1/2 be in, while 1/2 are out?
Assuming the legs start at vertical, and push out to walk sideways, is there
ever a time when all legs are vertical, or will that require even more switches?
Right now, there will be a time when all legs are down, but they are not
required to be vertical, I think.
When walking forward/back, there will be a time when all legs are straight out
from the body, but they will never be stopped in that postion. They can only be
stopped (reliably) when they are forward, or back, right?
Same with in/out. They "could" be stopped at 1/2 way, but not reliably, and
that would not be vertical.
This could make walking kind of funky.
