I'm looking for anyone who may have purchased and used the six-legged 
robot called Genghis II, available from IS Robotics.  We are considering
using it for work on control of walking, and would like to know what
people think of it.  Does it work?  Is it well constructed, or clinging
to life on duct tape and rubber bands?  (Or perhaps duct tape and rubber
bands is good enough.)  Any general comments on its usefulness (preferably
not from people directly involved in selling the thing) would be 
appreciated.

Are there other companies out there selling smallish six-legged walkers?
(I know this must be a FAQ, but I'm wondering if the list in the FAQ list
is really exhaustive.)
