The lock mechanism allows for a much more reasonable leg size. It is also
easier to fit together given that there is only one piston involved in the lock

Obviously, the sideways piston needs to be instrumented, and the "hip sweep"
piston needs to be added and instrumented.

Compressing the lock piston does not go past the lowest point of foot drop.

Yes, thanks.
