CONGRATULATIONS !!

I've been thinking on how to do this for some time (two-legger) but I

1. How Sturdy is it ?  Could you extend it to greated heightif you
midified the weight in the "sling" or no?

2.  Any thought of now implementing a knee joint or other mechanism to
collapse the lifted leg ?

Just Wondering, and again, congrats.  Cute looking little thing as well...

The interesting thing IMO is it walks shifting its centre of gravity from one leg to the other, making possible for (...) (26 years ago, 26-Feb-99, to lugnet.robotics)
