Assuming 50-75% efficient mechanism your power draw would be:
333-500 Watts.
That is a lot of power draw, but not unheard of.

Add in the use of hybrid mechanisms (use pneumatics, motors & constant-force springs through the use of creative cabling) and the instantaneous electrical power requirement is greatly reduced.
And I will most definitely never forget watching this bald, brown thin wisp of a human being charging up to us across the sidelines after the semifinals ended waving his hands and shouting "New Strategy!!!!!! New Strategy!!!!!!" as he rallied the troops for our Finals push.
