A vehicle comprises a body, a first leg, and a second leg. The first leg has a proximal end jointed to the body, a distal end, and a first foot located on the distal end. A first maximum working envelope is associated with the first foot, where the first working range is inscribed within a first maximum working envelope. Likewise, the second leg has a proximal end jointed to the body in-line with the first leg, a distal end, and a second foot located on the distal end. A second maximum working envelope is associated with the second foot, where the second working range is inscribed within a second maximum working envelope. The vehicle thus defines a single-track multi-legged vehicle where the first leg and the second leg are attached to the body one behind the other, substantially parallel to a major axis of motion of the vehicle.
