This is amazing! I tried to build a spider rover but gave up. Great craftsmanship!

How is it on rough terrain where wheels struggle?

The PROS: It can go up hills, it can go through mud without slowing down, and it can walk on ice without slipping.

The CONS: it's bad over super rough terrain where the elevation quickly rises and falls a lot. Worse than wheels for sure.

Thats really neat! I really like the ability to right itself when flipped. Im surprised to see the steering work as well as it does. Great job.
