Thanks for the link! Ill go through it. You see the point is that Im TRYING to do a wheel/leg and not just a walking design. Your typical walking robot is very, very slow. I want to have some type of wheels to give it a good speed and then legs to give it the best climbing available while using a minimum amount of motors. In answer to that last question, I was looking at making the legs 1' - 1.5'. Thanks agian for the link.
