Ape to TX part 2

To start with, Special thanks to Alec Cove's APE engine Link
And this beast leg system
And here's my results..
Thats about 2 hours of work, mostly SVN porting, and setting up the individual pieces.
I seriously have no idea how the beast is supposed to operate, I basically just put the pieces in the TxB editor, how I thought they would work, and let it fly, and programmed a little motor to make it go.
It looks promising, but I'm not really sure how much time i should invest in it, or if it will help people at all, the goal would be to attract more people to TX, and eventually the Farseer Physics engine, which is even more robust.
Thoughts? Ideas? Admonishments?
Heres the source code Link Source for anyone who wants to check it out yourself.

I think it works better as a bird then as a spider... it wants to fly...

I think it's more like lemar in half-life 2, "It's ok, he just wants to cusp your head". Yeah cheers scientist dude, you can stick your head in there for kicks if you want. I'll pass....
