I'm building a four motor scout walker 2 design right now and its quite
capable. I discovered that turning is as simple as reversing only one
back leg. Right now i plan on making it phototropic using the PSH
circuit. Anyway, maybe it doesn't matter to you, but from what i
gathered this design is alot easier to build then the stryder type
design.
