Hi Ray, Dennis,

It is really something to see the RotoPod run! THAT would be something
interesting to build; although I don't think I'd EVER figure out how to keep
all six feet (track followers?) coordinated and not running into each other!

EMC can run Hexapods, it's said; could it possibly run this one "out of the
box"?
