Bioloid 101 -- Gerwalk

This is a "gerwalk" or bird-gated robot. Another std assembly from the Robotis Bioloid kit.
Main concerns in getting this thing to walk were (a) tightening all bolts REALLY well (but not over-tight), especially after the first run-through of the demo s/w, and (b) a REALLY hard surface to walk on.
The bot even acts a bit like a chicken, with jerky (cartoony) bird-like movement of the legs. In some cases even on a carboard-on-carpet runway, the jerks threaten to knock the thing over.
On a solid plank or desktop it behaves a bit better.
