RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Hexapod question

Ego booster?..sorry. Seriously though there are a number of applications; US
Navy for one has Hexapods (or a variant of the original hexapod) doing
experimental shallow water mine clearance. The US Bureau of Mines has a
couple of large experimental Hexapod bases for active volcano research. JPL
has a number of variants that might be used for semi-autonomous navigation
on future Mars missions. I built one for my kid to have fun with which is
the most important application from my point of view.
