A closer look at 2 of the legs of the Foetid bloat drone tripod.
The legs starts at the hip, joined to the body where the main fans would normally be.
The leg continues upward to the first knee, where I used the spiked piece from the kit.
Down and forward to the 2nd knee protected with part of the original fan.
Back from there to the raised heel, and then down to the toe/foot.
Hoses and cables run the length to all the pistons that would move the joints.

TIL that in 2001, my old tripod.com site was hacked.
I was looking up my old site, because I was trying to remember an old #freeware #DOS game that I used to play that never got past the demo stage.
And after I looked up my site on the #WaybackMachine, this popup came up. And while I wasn't above putting joke popups, this is not my style at all. I took my site very seriously!
I must have had a third party hit counter or something that was compromised. The 2004 capture doesn't seem to show it and I later migrated to my uncle's domain (when he complained about my site trying to install a dialer on his computer), before abandoning the site completely after a few years. Man, it took me 25 years to find out my website had been hacked. Nooooooooo! I still have the html files I think, so I'll look up my code.
