That's a lot of hydraulic pistons!

Are you going to add hose lines, too? Looks good like it is now, sleek, but 
maybe for mechanical accuracy it might need hoses. Sure looks like it could 
grip onto something with those sharp feet, similar to cat claws (ow!). 
Reminds me of the old Ford tractor with a backhoe I had a short time 15 
years ago, except that was big and clunky.

Yep, Trying to think of a good way to do them.

Invert the top actuators and you might have a clean design with no need for
exposed hoses.

Spiders are spooky.  Especially robot spiders.

I really like all the mechanical do-dads. Looks like it could actually work!
