- I am starting on a similar critter: 6 legs, 3 degrees freedom/leg,
- 6811. I plan to use epoxy-fiberglass for structural components such
- as the body and legs. Strength to mass should be better than metal.
- It is fairly easy to work with. Repairs are easy.
-
- I have been learning fiberglass fabrication by building a boat. The
- critter comes next.
