walking robot with linear actuators / contstraints

had some fun playing with the generic constraint and ipo physics new
in 2.43 RC1.

Here is a functioning model of a statically balanced walking machine
based on my recollection of a robot from the university of
central florida robotics team entry in a walking machine contest circa
late 80’s / early 90’s.

I had the most trouble setting up a constraint that would
work like a linear actuator. the simple way to
make the robot walk around is to hold down the up arrow
and press “a”,“s”,“a”,“s” repeatedly. to turn use the left and right arrows
while one set of legs is raised.
