Want to _really_ learn how all your joints work in unison to help you
walk/balance. Go back to studying you own walking but this time try
bandaging up you ankles or knees so you cant move them. You can learn a
lot from the problems you will have walking when you can move a
particular joint and will very quickly realise in which direction you
_wish_ you could bend a joint to be able to walk like you normally
would.

You have obviously have done a lot of research into bi-pedal robotics.
Maybe you could post a list of links you have found so we can all do our
own reading.

Dont let people tell you it cant be done. If you want something to work
bad enough you will find a way! We will all be here cheering and ready
to help you in what ever way we can.
