Hey HDL,
I have a friend at CMU that is working on just such a thing.
Check this out:

He argues that pulley driven legs are the optimal leg design for a whole set of reasons. Its worth a look.

There are 3 parts to each leg and they are all connected with gears. NOTHING I have seen walks like that. Even that new barbie doll horse doesn't do it like that, and I think that's amazing.
My personal idea of mechanic hell.
I'd like to hear why you think i'm being stupid in saying steer away from this design admin! lol
