I also want to build a biped with Microrax but mine will be a servo-assisted 'passive dynamic' walker. Hi first step will be to replicate the walker described in Figure 3 / Table 1 of this pdf: http://obisnuit.eu/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/iida_ias9-cr.pdf I'll be using Microrax for the legs, and some hobbyking servos: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=12451&pb=1 don't let up1!

The airflow isn’t as strong as I would like it to be. It may need a better filter, or MORE POWER! http://www.vodex.co.uk/ It works pretty well, I no longer smell the solder.

I’m looking at building a similar cabinet and would love to hear about your experience. There has been a lot of talk regarding this subject. http://www.vodex.co.uk/ Very interested in your filter.

After that i tried to find any infos on what kind of motors i would need, and i read a lot about brushless and expensive stuffs which freaked me out. I'm glad i found your blog, coz i know it's possible. I was wondering if you could tell more about your setup, especially the motors :) Thanks a lot, this is brilliant ! Hey there,

Those 360 headset wires a e a SOB to mess with, epoxy coated stranded 22ga (I think) with a pesky piece of loosely twisted nylon string inside the shielding. I tried to replace the new style jacks (inline mute) with the better (IMO) older ones with the brick connector at the controller. Didn't have to take the hand off the controller to mute on the older one. Obviously they dude who designed the newer one wasn't a gamer. How dd you get around that? Not use solder? Clip connecters?
