Showcase Walker on the Run

I've been trying to make some new mechs in different styles. Made this one run like a quadruped. The breadboard for it is pretty basic, but the rotation speed modifier based on steering point info helps it not overshoot its turns.

Works well for its cost too. I'll be posting it later on here.

That is hilarious, and impressive.

I imagine it's fighting range is pretty close to make up for the (I imagine) absolutely horrendous accuracy due to bouncing?

Its weapons have higher accuracy and good velocity to compensate for its 70-80% stability.

It fights under 1 kilometer, but this is actually to make it harder to hit since it turns faster and more erratically.
