Theo Jansen’s Strandbeests:

Hadn't seen this before. Pure recreational video, but I liked it. Hope y'all enjoy!

I first watched Thoe's creations,, maybe 15 yrs ago.. A Geek's combination of the application of math, physics, and mechanical engineering.. not much practical application, but they are tremendous learning tools..
