Robotic Spider Bug, WIP

[Flash FROG]

I made it so that with driven keys the hydrolics on the legs will work and the legs will fold up underneath the robot.
Here is a bink video if you would like to see an example of my project so far. You don't need any special software to run it.

Cool design, like the fold-up legs idea.. :thumbsup:

Is the body just a placeholder? Looks like a low res stand-in.

Only other crit I can think of without seeing the anim, is that with the legs unable to rotate around the body or pivot on heading from their mount points, how does it walk?

I am thinking about creating a new body for the highly detailed legs. I just don't know what to create yet.

As for my legs they are set up to pivot in the ball joint on the robot, left, right, up or down.
