@TheHazzabigun Yeah, probably. You'd need smaller batteries (Li-po) and plastic instead of metal to be lighter (and it'd still be strong enough). And custom electronics if you really want it to be lighter, depending on how you want to control it (XBEE, WIFI, SERIAL, USB...)
Nope, It's controlled via a serial cable from my computer using software easy-to-use that Lynxmotion sells (or you could use freeware) and there is a SSC-32 sold at Lynxmotion that controls the servos.
I used the HS-422 Servo from Hitec with 56.93 oz-in or 4.1 kg-cm. It's ok for a robot like this one but as soon as you want to go bigger, you're going to need better servos. Hope this helps, good luck.
anyone in the UK looking for cheap LiPo should check out giantcod . co . uk

@SamNicJohn would 180mah 7.4v lipo be enough? and some 3mm hdpe and polycarb for the frame, what would you recomend electronics wise?

@SamNicJohn The software that Lynxmotion sells is SSC32 sequencer right? what's the different between the freeware and the sequencer?
