He expands on the drawing a bit, attaching the read legs to a central backbone.
"It helps that we know this is going to be small, for reconnaissance. The basic metal we use determines how much stress it can take. This wouldn't survive a ten storey fall, but it'll get from A to B."
He points to Pokey's original drawing.
"The benefit to the small design is we don't need to install anything to hide it more than it naturally can hide itself. Meaning there's a lot of redundant systems we can cut out to save weight."
He adds in some basic power wires, and also a central power battery in the 'belly' of the thing.
"This will actually have more range of motion than the animal equivalent. The best part about ball-and-socket joints? Quick rotation."
