Here is another kind of cool table, it doesn't walk but fascinating all the same.

Isn't that from Shakespeare or was it Forrest Gump?

Astonishingly it remains truly circular in the process.
Not quite, but close enough for government work. Very cool... wouldn't mind taking a peek at the mechanism, though I imagine I could recreate it if I had to.

Wow think of the tolerances they have to hold to do that!

The segmented table is awesome; it is even more impressive than the walking one.

I bet Dan could come up with some really cool lighting that would activate when the segments opened and closed.
