Every 'walker' type of bot I've seen that professes the ability to run has
only been able to take a
couple of steps before it falls flat on it's face. It seems that they don't
have the ability to balance
and rebound from the steps they're taking.
I wish I could remember the exact links, but I can't. Try LUGNET's link
pages-I'm fairly certain
that's where I found the site full of walkers.
