Spider Robot Walking Test - EPIC FAIL

This is a walking test from a hexapod prototype I designed and built in 2009 that I nicknamed “The Spider“. (Yeah, I know spiders have 8 legs, but it was a catchy name!) The EPIC FAIL part happens when it almost falls on me at 3:23. This also illustrates why it’s important NOT to work alone in the shop. Particularly when your robot weighs 650 lbs. This project is currently shelved.
