Leg lift and leg drop are synchronized, but leg sweep was not.
I did not have time to rebuild the body to provide identical leg sweep. Since
this stopped the legs from completing their stride, I did not synchronize leg
sweep.
As Brickfest went on, SSC1 walked better and better. Furthermore it had no
reliability problems (unlike Phd2 and my three-toed quad.) I made a number of
design decisions intended to improve reliability.
I do have some video of SSC1 walking, but I have to wait to get back to
Minnesota before I can publish it.

I made sure to share the news with Nathan, and strongly encourage him to return
next year.

I plan to remake PhD2 into PhD with the simplifying and reliability mods I used
on SSC1. Of course SSC2 is also in the works!
I'll also start writing articles for BrickJournal too.
