Step 7Nylock is for Suckers.
Man up and use a lock nut. What's a lock nut? When you put another nut after your load-bearing nut, and counter-tighten them. You only need 3 threads of engagement to get a good bite, so you don't really have to have excessively long bolts.
Also, don't be like the original hexabot dude. Put your bolts from the outside in, so that you have minimal clearance past the legs themselves. The caveat is the center bolt, which must be facing out. I'm thinking about chopping, drilling, and safety wiring that one.
