Could be interesting to build one ~75% the scale of those drawings, and then you could 3d print everything (with every individual part fitting in 9" cube) and make an electric strandbeest skateboard or something that people could ride

We need to film the build so we have some youtube content to draw some traffic. Let me know when you start and we (Anette, Sofia and I) can help with filming and editing it.
