In defense of Kevin, First, Woody, et al, I expected nothing less. Engineering is all about trade offs. You can design yor system to do A, B or C easily. Combining A abd C or A and B or B and C requires some effort. Combining A, B and C should be near impossible.

If you try to use every motor and actuator in the kit, you will be about 60 pounds overwieight.

Set your priorities. What does this robot NEED to do? Now look at options. What will give you a winning design?

To quote an Eagle: Get over it...
