I may be getting completely ahead of myself on this but I have watched a lot of videos on humanoid robots. I do have a JD on order. I have been wondering how well JD is going to walk and would the addition of another joint help at all.
I am optimistic after seeing the video of him kicking the ball but unless I am missing something I haven't seen him walking yet.
Opinions?
I found it interesting that it said they also have the feedbacks as well. When I first sow them I thought they just may be regular digital servos in cases made to look like dynamixles. You always have to be careful when shopping on the internet.
I would still spend the extra money and go with dynamixels, with these kinds of rip-off brands you usually have no idea what you're getting in to. It's like taking a nose dive into what could be concrete.
Also, if anyone is interested in building a humanoid, I found this pretty snazzy looking humanoid on ebay for around 400$:

all it needs is a battery
I wasn't trying to discourage you... But you will have to put some serious effort into this project... It may take a while, just don't give up... Think of the accomplishment you will feel when you finally get to where you want to be... And don't forget leaning aspect of this either... Personally, I always found that the "doing" gave me more satisfaction than the final outcome...
