So you can choose what language you want to use? For example, could you use a C++ programing program like MS Visual C++, and transfer it to the RCX? Or is there specific software that comes with it? -Adam (...) (24 years ago, 23-Mar-01, to lugnet.robotics)

Andy, I think the curved foot concept is the wrong direction for a two-legged mechanism. The few simple two-legged mechanisms I have seen rely on two feet, each with a VERY large footprint.
