Stompy the giant 6-legged robot

Stompy is an 18-feet wide, 4,000 pound, 6-legged hydraulic robot that was recently launched on Kickerstarter. It is born out of Project Hexapod, a team of three instructors and a group of students based in Somerville, Massachusetts. Stompy can walk over rough terrain and mountainous areas, and carry 1,000 pounds while walking 2-3 mph, or up to 4,000 pounds at 1 mph.
