    Sounds.....hard.... Is it powered by gears? Or rotators like mine what I found was the key factor in making it walk was the shape of the feet get that right and then it's running @SpiritusRaptor

    The joy thing I've made that works recently was another more complex robotic leg ..... My ultimate goal with robotics is to make it dance... @SpiritusRaptor
