I am descended from 5,000 generations of tool-using primates. Also, I went to college and stuff. I am a long-time contributor to MAKE magazine and makezine.com. My work has also appeared in ReadyMade, c't – Magazin für Computertechnik, and The Wall Street Journal.

My god, these are so captivating. I could watch that trammel of Archimedes all day.
It’s not technically a mechanical animation, but my favorite Wikipedia animation is this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Viscosity.gif
Awesome works. i like the mechanism of Constant-velocity joint
The first one wouldn’t work because it is picking up two legs at a time. Which means it would just fall over. It would have to have at least six legs.
I assume it has the same number and configuration of legs on both sides… much like a spider.
my favorite is the unrolling of pi

I think my favorites were #2 and #4.
