My little walking robot, that this blog was originally created to describe, gradually beat itself to death through performing at conventions and Makerfaires over a period of several years. Broken servos were easy (if expensive) to replace, but eventually welds cracked in the legs and the servo control board developed intermittent faults. Fixes to the structural problems just made it heavier and pushed the already overloaded servos further. About a year ago I gave up and declared it dead.
