Oh absolutely - but GR won't sell me a kit for $300 either... I wonder though if rolling doesn't make proper feedback less important - 'if the surface isn't level, start rolling!'

I'm hoping that GR will have development kits out in the not-too-distant future.

The hardware is "cheap", in the sense that each leg has two motors and that's it. All feedback is via position and torque sensing on the motors themselves. The mechanicals for the legs are also relatively simple and cheap.

It is the software which really makes the system perform.
