It's a very, very interesting concept and a great video. It seems to me though that the lines driving the legs from the wobble plate would be a point of failure where they meet the pulleys, and I wonder what the lifetime of one of them would be (he even mentioned that the tensile strength of the paracord they used would snap at any decent speed).
Super cool though, I'd love to see an hour long documentary/further exploration of the concept.

It was only a proof of concept to show you can walk with 8 legs using 2 motors. If this was designed for a purpose you could just use the weight savings from only needing 2 electric motors to create a tougher wobble plate and joints.
Waiting for the tired NOPE comments. Surprised there aren't any yet. This seems like a really neat project, though.
