Hi there !
this is a nice build but still lot to be done 
I have been working on a biped some years ago and to improve gaits ans stability you should use an IMU to help (gyroscope + accelerometer). Another thing would be to add anti-slippery pads on the feet because is it really hard to balance a robot if the feet are skidding, you will not be able to have proper control (just imagine yourself trying to walk on ice…)
Keep up the good work
The slippery feet was done intentional so I could study the walk pattern.
When placed on the carpet it takes off with out a problem.
Once I am satisfied with the leg design and the walking gaits that I can produce the design will get enlarged and I will be using the MG996R servos.
Currently this is just for proof of concept and to study walking gaits.
Several other attempts of leg design have not work out so well, this is the first one with a fairly descent result.
Will most defiantly be using a IMU in the future.
Good to hear from you, don’t be such a stranger.
