Sounds like an ideal application for an RCX input multiplexer:

You can then have 12 switches on your RCX to measure two positions on each of 6
legs.  Using the thermometer setting on the ports, each combination of switches
is dstinguishable as a different raw sensor value with a margin of at least 5
counts, with 16 possible values per port.  You could then plot the leg movement
on a graph!
