Well, most don't. From all I've read, Mark Tilden is the only one who's
done it. I think it has something to do with sticking in photodiodes in
place of a resistor in the circuit. Basically, you just need to alter the
timing enough to make the back legs turn a little more one way than the
other.

Still, without a waist motor, a 2 motor won't turn terribly quickly, AFAIK.
Anyone else who's managed this feat?
