      I saw this recently too and forwarded to a friend. It was a fun watch despite having only a very loose layman’s idea of how the tech works. I know what a servo does.

      He also built an AT-AT he can ride like a horse, and something he called a “screw bike” that I started to look for but then had to pull out of said rabbit-hole. Good silly channel.

        I watched the AT-AT this morning, too. Then I backed out of the rabbit hole. I can't help but think about the costs/ROI. Pretty cool to watch.
