It's the COG reasons why I put the RCX's at the top--I don't want the COG to
be close to the bottom--I want it to be kinda in the middle of the torso, as
well as most of the weight as close to the center line as possible.
That way, if the 'bot leans to one side, even just a bit, the majority of
the weight also is on that one side. This allows the balancing o nthe leg
to be very easy.
but tinking about it now, I may try to move an RCX to each leg, and have the
third attached to the chest area somewhere.
I had another great idea given to me from Rob--make a 'backpack' of
RCX's--one issue I'm noticing is that LOR needs the weight to the front of
the 'bot.
We shall try more stuff tonite

Thanks for the idea
