Trying to keep within the insanity box that all the threads here seem to threaten to open, (perhaps it’s just me ) what if you made each of the many ‘pairs’ slightly smaller, left to right, would it walk round in circles ?
Then, to allow omnidirectional wind power, change to a vertical axis turbine on top ?

In theory yes? You’d want to make several adjustments to the chassis so that the legs stay perpendicular to the ground I think. I plan on doing a lot of weird things with these once I can reliably and repeatedly create more legs. How to turn when you have 10+ leg pairs has always been my question

Or might it be simply a matter of progressively reducing their stride, from left to right ?
I assume that one of the links controls that, and the possibility of making that a controlled variable, is rather hilarious.
I think it’s time I laid down.
