Well, one thing I notice from watching it 8 times last night is that it was
solar...I thought it walked great, it was a miller style and really fast. And
one thing you have to think about is that those motors are not symmetrical,
the output shaft is a little to the side, so he got a fairly straight
movement out of odd legs....and it moved like babies crawl, so i thought it
was very interesting...just my 2 cents
