Description:
How created: Designed and evolved
Designed basic body & neural architecture, and evolved neural net over several million steps. This is the first creature I have built using the 'qQ' modifier set for the body. Also, included sigmoid values in the neural net as I was not sure how the neuron 'delay' would have to work for the creature to roll as I wanted it to. It seems to have worked out fine!
Performance notes: The creature rolls. First one leg 'set,' then the next will go in turn, etc etc. Have not seen a creature do this yet with flat legs, and I was worried that it would be impossible.
