Re: Robot Dinosaurs

That sounds familiar actually.  A friend sent me some pictures a couple
years ago (long lost now due to a computer crash) of a robot dinosaur
built on the dromaeosaur (or possibly troodon) body pattern.  It was
apparently an attempt at high speed bipedal locomotion.  I have no idea
how well the thing worked, but it was damn cool.  I'm pretty sure it was
done at MIT (where else?), so it might be helpful to search for that as
well.

good luck,
Chris
