In normal walking we expect that the sideways walking leg pistons will be all
expanded.  When we switch to sideways walking, we subsititute sideways sweep for
hip sweep.


Will it be possible to expand or contract all sideways walking pistons at the
same time?


Looking at SSClagorpion from the front........ and only looking at one of the
two leg groups:
__
/ /  Down
__
\ \ Down
__
\ \ Up
__
/ /  Up

In this case we'll need to have half the sidways pistons expanded and half
contracted all the time.  Otherwise all the legs will thrust away from the body
and then back.  Right?

Right.  I think.  So, where (side to side) will the legs be when it's walking
forward?

Like this:
   __
  /  \

So when we stop walking sideways, we have to force all the sidewalking pistons
to expand.  You said this didn't you.
