scamper

Quick little scurrying steps with a slightly crouched body. Engine drives the rapid legs.

Composes: walk + bend-knees

How

• TRAVEL uses top-level moveTo (never an in-place leg cycle): a named target from state.locations, or a point ahead computed from state.position+state.faceDeg. Mid distance, quick.
• Base pose: small knee bend (Leg~15) and a slight forward lean.
• Short durationMs (~1500).

Example

• "scamper away" -> {"durationMs":1500,"moveTo":{"x":0,"z":2.2},"pose":{"Spine":[14,0,0],"LeftLeg":[15,0,0],"RightLeg":[15,0,0]},"say":"Scampering off!"}

Limits & posture

Keep ≥1 foot grounded except at a jump's airborne apex; stay inside human joint ranges and keep weight over the support — see balance-and-posture.
