No no, when you actually do lose the front, and recover it

The middle leg has a shorter stride and therefore takes twice as many steps as the other two, crazy.

Looks very inefficient.

Dood, look at that firepower?! All your base belong to me!

Looks very inefficient.

...yet significantly more stable than just 2.

The rear leg has to take a step for each step of either front leg. The stride is the same.

when standing, and it can catch its fall easier. but when walking, it should constantly fall over.

i dont think that gait is physically possible w/ a machine that looks like that. when it lifts one of the front two legs, it should start falling to that side since there was no CG shift. even if there was, theres a lot of mass on that side so the CG shift would need to be HUGE. essentially, the other two legs would need to become the only two legs and the machine would need to be directly over them. that aint gonna happen.
