Would you believe that thing is just being pushed along by the wind?

here'* a neat little vid that explains how the legs work. really simple. love it.

two independant pods of three legs each, with independant electric motors driving each and all of a sudden we've got a giant walking drivable machine. practical use? i don't know. cool, you bet.
