¡hola Horacio!

Months ago I built a robot that used just two legs to walk, moving its own
center of gravity from one leg to the other. It was actually unable to turn,
but someone sugested that I could provide it with turnable legs for
direction control. I mean the body itself could have vertically splitted
into two sections connected thru a turntable or any other suitable joint.
I never attempted that but you might want to. Some pictures at my site:
