That would be awesome.
Bump.

I'd fold one out of metal, put a turret on top, and go hunting.

Not yet I'll start working on one here are some of jansen's notes
For those how don't read dutch:In the computer 1500 legs were created using rods of random length. The computer evaluated which legs approximated the ideal walking curve. Of these 1500 the best 100 were selected. They gained the privilege of reproduction. Their rods were copied and combined into 1500 new legs. These 1500 legs have some liking to their parents and were tested using the ideal curve. This processes went on for many generations and the computer was working for weeks and months (day and night).

In the end 13 numbers evolved, indicating the ideal lengths for the rods. The final result was the leg of the Animares Currens Vulgaris. It was the first walking beach-animal. But still, from time to time the Vulgaris resisted walking. A new computer-evolution produced the legs of the subsequent generations. These are the magig figures:
