	Does anyone remember a six-legged cyndrical robot that was called I 
think OMNIBOT. The thing could squat down to go under obstacles, was strong
enough to pick up a pickup (at least lift the rear wheels off the ground)
and agile enough to climb into said pickup. I used to get Robotics  magizine
before it turned into an "automated arm rag" and they ran an article about it
a couple of years ago. If any one knows what happened to it please post. If I 
remember correcttly it was built somewhere around San Jose/San Francisco.
