Pleo 101 -- animation

A simple "stickbot" version of an asymmetric quad with a jointed tail.

The planning s/w figures out pretty quickly how to use the tail as a counterbalance, rather than dragging it along the ground like a 1950s B-grader.

The clips are played in order of discovery by the planner. It simply was told each time "back up and find a better solution".

After the last solution, it seemed to go out to lunch, so I presumed there was nothing much more to be found.

Apologies for the bad vid quality -- I've been exprerimenting with codecs to reduce the size of the home-to-youtube stack, but apparently a bad phase had been intro'd somewhere. DCT params seem to have been unexpectedly truncated.
