Meet the Cajun Crawler - A Segway Like Device With Legs

We've all heard of the Segway but what we all might not have heard about is the Cajun Crawler, a Segway-like personal transportation device with insect like legs. It looks a bit creepy, really cool, and it's a lot faster than one might think. This Segway competitor was created by some students from the University of Louisiana, hence the name "Cajun Crawler". The crawling mechanism uses six pairs of mini legs under the platform that the rider stands on which are powered by two 18V hand-drill motors. Also under the platform is two 18 volt battery packs which feeds the electronics and legs with power for mobility. The crawler can move up to 3MPH currently. Okay, it's not super fast - but once you see the legs in action it's really amazing it can move as fast as it does.
