then it’s not a spider. Spiders are octopods.

When I was eight years old, I would have lectured you about this very sternly. I’ve mellowed a little, but the impulse still remains.

I was fully expecting to see it stomping all over the landscape, and what did it do? Lift one leg like an arthritic dog. I want to see that thing marching down Tremont Street scaring the pee out of the tourists.

Sounds like the hardware is basically done and now it's a matter of carefully and incrementally developing the software.
