Ankle joint consists of a dual worm table mounted back to back to form a
square with two 9V motors driving the pivot rotation.
The toes are highly geared down to provide additional balance control.
The planetary z24 gears that help steady the technic turntables provide a
readout access point for the rotation sensor. I linked both sides of the
planetary gears to a joining differential set up in the center.
One high RPM motor drives the toe dig.
The ankle splay is mounted along the central ankle pivot axis via 4x4
turntables in the heart of the ankle gear block. The ankle rod base extends
up to the top of the device and waits for a turntable worm set up for the
upper ankle twist.
