Looks so ungainly until it picks up steam. Pretty funny.

I'm impressed it works remarkably well for something that some random guy built in a garage.
Make the legs longer for increased speed and agility, put a beefier engine on it, add an internal computer for stability control and you've got a bad ass machine right thar.

Awesome.
I was planning on building a much simpiler six-legged walker that simply used two gears and axles on each leg.
This looks incredible. He should put some rubber on the ends of the legs to increase traction, get a better motor and add some suspension.

The video starts to buffer every 10th second, so it's unwatchable.

YouTube to the rescue

Check out their site http://www.mondospider.com/tech.php
Also I did some searching and it seems this is where he got the inspiration for the mechanical leg design
