Re: pic: Butterfly Drive Concept

Perhaps you can explain because I have never seen a drivetrain like this before. What are the advantages of this over octocanum? Based on the picture and description it looks heavier, more complex, uses more motors, and is harder to build than an octocanum equivalent. I'm sure I must be missing something or someone else would have brought this up earlier, but I don't see it.
