Hey,
This is my "NEON" Biped. It is about 2.5 feet tall, and walks at about the same speed as a person does. The video shows it running on a smooth surface, so it doesn't go anywhere, but outdoors it runs!!
This was the largest biped I had ever built. It has the following specs:
-Alluminum Chassis
-18 Volt Rechargeable Battery
-2.5 ft tall
-About 3 ft per/sec max
-Two 24 Volt DC Motors
Dont be fooled by the wheels on the feet: they are simply to reduce friction under the robot, NOT to drive it. There is NO motor on any wheel.
Funny story: I almost put a jet engine on his hat thinggy for fun! Luckly I never did.
However, after I replaced his old batteries with a single newr one, after turning him on, he ran so fast out into the street that he ripped his own legs off. :(
Thanks for looking.

this is a cool platform. Once you fix his legs. Maybe make him stronger so that does not happen again.
