Subject: [alt-beam] Re: SAL ..... & Spyder
You're right! It does look a LOT like a salamander.
So can we expect any more pictures of your spyder soon? I was VERY impressed with the first wave of photos. It's now up there with my favourite robots which also include Mark T's spyder, and Ian's Stryder Junior. Ian didn't you have photos of it somewhere on your page? I can't find anything about it.
