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.
