Steerable Walking Rover Build Tutorial

This video goes over how to create a walking rover that can both turn in place and steer while walking. A basic Kerbin Version is covered in detail, then a more advanced Duna version is briefly covered.

This design uses four legs each pointing at diagonal angles. This allows each leg's walking animation to be the same (aside from flipping the directions of some things), meaning you only have to animate one step.

Each leg gets its own controller, and then multiple master controllers synchronize those stepping animations to create walking and turning movements.

This video allows you to build a specific rover, but once you get the idea you could probably modify the design.
