On: MorpHex, a hexapod robot

Very Masamune Shirow! I like it. Seems like its mobility is pretty limited, though - except going downhill, of course.

I wonder if you can steer it at all while rolling, perhaps by going into that sort of pill bug shape a bit and messing with the weight distribution?

You should probably watch the video.

I did. Where else would I get "Masamune Shirow-esque"? I mean control while it's rolling downhill. They put it in semi- mode later, but I don't remember them controlling it while it was going down the driveway.
