This looks amazing. I can see version 2.0 of it climbing rocks. Amazing work.

Re: rubber feet.

We have a problem with stress when turning, as it is just a clockwork mechanism. The feet have to slide or it will break. The spider has actually now been outfitted with industrial plastic shoes that allow a little more slide. When we run it out in the desert it wants to rip itself apart otherwise.

We have a few ideas for v2.0. Pending funding and time.

[...] some weird mechanical sculptures. I find these machines really cool but nothing beats the mechanical spider. The squid and the elephant are fully functional and people can ride them. [...]
