The hydraulic cylinder on the middle leg femur has a piston seal leak, this means the leg droops when it is powered off, and it also looses power when working. As the middle leg needs the most power I decided to switch the middle leg femur ram with the front leg femur ram..

Foot mould tests..
Having failed to find anything suitable for the foot of the mantis I decided to try making a mould and creating my own foot pads from polyurethane. This was the first mould and the first pour I tested. Unfortunately I got the quantity wrong, but it was a pretty successful test. I poured two types of hardness, shore 70 and shore 60, initial thoughts are that the shore 70 will work best.
