Calculating required torque for servos for a WALKER!

[Daniel Vernall]

Hi thanks for the reply. Indeed! I'm going to be fitting a thick square steel tube cage around the entire body (including the legs) Along with heavy springs in each leg to counter some of those forces.

I should get the 2 degrees of freedom:

Each leg can perform these motions:
1st degree: Lifting/dropping
2nd degree: forward/backwards

At least I think that counts as two degrees of freedom! Please someone correct me if I'm wrong!
