true, there would be more gears but i just wanted to show him where I thought that they would go. Also maybe hydraulics weren't used but rather thick musclewire. If this is from the future then I think that MuscleWire would be a better idea. That way, the spine,body,legs,etc. could move in any direction depending on the type of electric signal sent through them. This would actually eliminate the need for hydraulics or gears, but rather just a CPU. AHA! Yes that would be great, instead of using gears and an engine just put some type of computer chip there with all those wires in the middle hooking up to it. That would be perfect for the I-Robot like theme of the project.
