I wonder what we could have done if we had CIM's, Toughboxes or AM shifters?

The walkers on 71 were in fact powered by CIMs. It was one heck of a reduction, but unfortunately, I do not remember off the top of my head what it was.
I wish I could provide more detail on how exactly the feet worked. It was a cam that made the feet move back and forth linearly, but due to the direction of the metal on the file cards, it would only grip when moving one direction. Beyond that, I'm the wrong person to ask.
