That is the worst video site Ive ever seen. I didnt get to see the car cause the interface kept trying to reload the video everytime I clicked something. Is it on youtube also?

That thing needs some rubber feet or something for traction as those legs just slip n slide all over the place.Legs powerd hydraulicly or mechanical you think?

looks like they are attached to a rotating shaft, and they can't have too much traction or else they can't turn

Yep they're levers being worked from a spinning shaft, you can see it clearly in the side view.

Hydraulics or pneumatics with all those legs would be hell :P

Nifty lil thing, definitely get you attention if you took it down the street :)

I don't think it really is any better than wheels though because the legs don't conform to rougher terrain.

I bet he used tractor engines cause its really loud and he stops when he changes gears, that shaft is a nice design
