Cheap bipedal robot

This is just amazing. A small, programmable, bipedal robot for (only) $1400. I love the simple construction, just bolt an arm directly to a servo horn. So good. The software must be so simple, too, because the servos handle getting correct position themselves. Imagine what other amazing mechanical articulated stuff one could do with this simple servo construction. If I can possibly find an excuse for a small, 3+jointed arm with low torque and speed on next year's robot, I will have to use this kinda stuff. Maybe I should make a robotic hand to shift the drill gearbox, seems like no mechanical device can do it as well as a hand
