You have binding (I think it is called kinematic binding). When the robot
turns the legs do not move parallel to the body but try to describe arcs.
You can reduce the binding by adding 'play' to the leg bearings (use ball
joints ?) and springs or rubber grommets to give them the default
position wrt. play. Only the 4 corner legs need this, the 2 center ones
can
remain as is.
