Hi,

Skip to the bottom for the question :)

I am getting back into building robots now, and decided I wanted to
build a 2 legged walker.  I looked at the various Lego solutions, and
realized that none used pneumatics.  That began my quest to build a
pneumatic 2 legged walker.  After some research, I found a site
(http://www-personal.engin.umich.edu/~artkuo/Passive_Walk/passive_walking.html)
that had a movie with a walking style that seemed feasible.  I had tried
an AT-ST style leg, but that was too weak.  This leg requires curved
feet though, leading to my question:  How can I make curved feet?  I
have thought about flexible tubing, but that seems unable to support
much weight.  Is there a strong way to make relatively smooth curves?

Thanks,
Andy

What about using #32250 liftarms? They may not be large enough for your
needs, but here's a pic:
