This is not really true, because I did a bunch of experiments throughout the
year to make it this far.

On the next version, when the legs sweep symmetrically, it might be good to use
shocks to allow the legs to bow in.  The feet sweep out an arc, and in doing so,
they fight each other a little bit.  Shocks might let the legs bow and reduce
the fighting.

Yes, I was just going to suggest shocks to push feet out.  It would create a knee,
to bend in and out as it walks.
