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.

I could see version 2.0 being able to have a onboard computer and gps navigation. It should have a auto mode too. Like you put it in a direction and speed then your could relax in it. Does this thing actually come out any where or what would the price be.
This looks amazing. I can see version 2.0 of it climbing rocks. Amazing work.
needs big hard rubber feet not a lot of traction but still very cool
