@DJ Sures, I think its safe to say everyone understands. You've done quite a bit in the last year. I can't wait to see what you get done in a year that you don't lose time moving and battling a flood.

yeah the thing with JD is he looks very short and feet are huge. compared to the type of walking bots out there now....looks a little i dunno...like a toy.

the Darwin Op is sooo similar to the Sony Qrio that i think most of us here dreamed about.

maybe we can mod the parts to fit hobby servos....then stick a v4 in him and boom!

a perfect example of that is capable with an ezb....this would blow all the Darwin OP robots out of the water

The reason JD has big feet is to increase his stability. The little feet humanoids are neat for people who have perfectly clean and flat areas to walk their robot on - but with JD his stability is increased and more forgiving for the terrain.

Also, the biggest reason for JD's feet is to support EZ-Bit Add-ons. Because we don't know what people will be connecting to their JD, we need it to be stable.
