Does anyone remember a six-legged cyndrical robot that was called I think OMNIBOT. The thing could squat down to go under obstacles, was strong enough to pick up a pickup (at least lift the rear wheels off the ground) and agile enough to climb into said pickup. I used to get Robotics magizine before it turned into an "automated arm rag" and they ran an article about it a couple of years ago. If any one knows what happened to it please post. If I remember correcttly it was built somewhere around San Jose/San Francisco. Monty Saine
