Finally getting around to answering this... You could obviate the need for tons of extra motors, pulleys, chains, flexible shafts, etc by going with a large, well designed leg, and then putting a motor/gear case/wheel assembly on the end of it. Using FIRST parts, it'd be some sort of sturdy leg system with a Nothin'-But-Dewalts motor assembly attached to a wheel at the end of the leg. There are trade-offs, obviously. This makes your leg much heavier. But on the plus side, electricity is an awful lot easier to bend around corners than mechanical rotation.
