This robot is a winner of first prize for best presentation at Hacker's Conference 2005.

Each leg has three flexible tubes that can be made longer or shorter using air vacum. This allows each leg to bend in any direction and to expand or contract.

The landing gear bolts never touch the floor in normal operation. You just don't break twenty-four legs if you stumble.
