I have no idea who these guys are, but they managed to build an 8-legged, gas-powered spider mech in their spare time. Screw NASA and DARPA - turn them over to rednecks plus Burt Rutan and we'll have a Mars colony and Robotech in 10 years. EDIT: Mondospider BC is at http://www.mondospider.com/index.php

The machine weighs1000Kg and the walking software is supplied by P.A. Technology. The legs can also twist in place, allowing changes in direction.
