Well it's basically just what motor driver your using. Mark T. uses some
monster motors on his 1 meter walkers and roswell and just uses the
slandered bicore with a FET driver. I f you wanted to run HUGE motors you
could build some kind of a driver using relays. It's quite cool because
whether your building something the size of a frog the the size of an
elephant the brain is exactly the same. Just different motor drivers.
