hobble

A stiff, achy gait with short steps and stiff feet — both legs, unlike a one-sided limp.

Composes: walk + move-torso

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. Short distance, slow.
• Base pose: small stiff knee bend both sides, stiff feet (Foot X~80), slight hunch.
• Slow durationMs (~3200).

Example

• "hobble forward" -> {"durationMs":3200,"moveTo":{"x":0,"z":1.5},"pose":{"Spine":[14,0,0],"LeftLeg":[12,0,0],"RightLeg":[12,0,0],"LeftFoot":[80,0,0],"RightFoot":[80,0,0]},"say":"Ow, every step."}

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.
