can you -please- look at this following MCU: http://www.robotstore.com/store/product.asp?pid=676&catid=1563
now im not sure if im correct or not, but to make walking legs move, thats ALL i need right? am i correct when i say that the small microcontroller in that link is enough to make 16 servos work? or do i need other electronics with it??
S. Karim: with all due respect, you are way over your head. I suggest you take a step back and start small. The chips mentioned are not memory, they are microcontrollers.Why don't you start with learning about microcontrollers and how you can use them to control a servo. Parallax has some very good kits that focus on teaching you (like their "What's a Microcontroller" kit (http://www.parallax.com/detail.asp?product_id=28152)).
Once you learn the basics, you can then take it a step further... maybe a robot that can roam around a room and use sensors to avoid obstacles. Then you can start to kick it up a notch and learn how to make a walking robot.I wouldn't be focusing on searching for servos just yet... I think you have a lot of learning to do before that!

admins project is cool, ill do it if you can tell me how to extend the project for 8 or more servo ports.
i doubt ill need 1k for a set of walking legs. i wouldnt expect you to say that...being the admin/master hobby robot builder and all since you're a pro at finding loopholes in prices.
only thing im worried about is this MCU thing and materials to make the actual frame.
where do i find a robot controller with built in servo ports (sensors arent a priority)?
