Ok, this may be a silly question but.....Jamocklaquat must be immensly heavy, how do you go about giving motors enough power to actually move elements such as the arms (from the shoulder) or the spine with the wieght of the body on it? I noticed a picture of the super duty worm table, but even this runs on a single motor. Do you use weights or other such mechanics to take the stress off motors? Or do you use multiple motors in tandem for a single function? BTW, awesome pictures as usual. An A.I. model running from a laptop would be neat to see as part of your creation someday in the far off future.
