Not really. While the Spider is a beautiful piece of equipment (UBC represent!), it's pretty limited, mechanically. It's a vehicle, not a robot. It only has two degrees of freedom. Each leg of the hexapod has three, giving a whopping 18DoF for the entire device. That's why they're so expressive. That's why there is an annual dance contest for them. (And, yes, it's why this might be beyond my abilities to pull off.)
