From the MAKE Flickr pool:
Mr. Tentacle submitted this image of his six-legged robot, Hexateuthis – “the 6-legged land squid”.
The design uses 18 Lynxmotion servo motors controlled by a Pololu Orangutan board (with an Atmega168 at the helm). Throw in some sleek cabling/chassis contrast and you’ve got yourself one fine piece of machine.
