Not bad for a looping animation.  A bit thin on topic relevance.

From agage@mines.edu:
Apart from being an enlongated sphere, a leg object repeated five times, and
a checkerboard with a light source, the animation seems like underkill.

In other words, the modeling could use more detail; even surface textures would
help.  Eyes would be a start :)  Better luck next time...

Good start.

Is that it?
How about at least adding a head to the poor critter?
This would also help the naturalness of the movement:  the well-done
fluid motion looks mechanical on this headless beast.
Thin connection to "transportation".

Nice walking motion. The model is a little simple - perhaps you could have had
some antenna waggling. Try using some normals in the textures - they will help
to stop it looking flat

Elegant.  I would like to use this one as a screensaver.

From bill@apocalypse.org:
simple, but well done - you got potential kid!  :-)

From r@dmsst59.d.resnet.pitt.edu:
Compared with the other entries, VERY simplistic - it has promise if the same
kinematic system is used on a more detailed model.

From r@cust150.webbernet.net:
Very minimalist.  That is ok in itself, although even a minimalist bug needs
antennae and I get tired of checkerboards.  No story.  That is not ok.  I
understand time constraint all too well, but indicate *something*.  Is it a
real bug at a picnic?  A robot prototype being studied?  An insectiform vehicle
exploring?  Something, anything to hint at some sort of story would have helped
a lot.  An entomologist's magnifying glass, a voltmeter, leftover food.... 
It's okay that you don't have time or resources to tell, but at least hint.

From r@auasc7-104.flash.net:
Not too bad, but clearly could use some more development.  I also am not sure
simply walking captures the "transportation" topic -- perhaps if it was a
walking vehicle or was carrying a heavy load.
