Very impressive! I guess this had to take a lot of trial and error, stable walking cycle is a challenge on its own, springs make the dynamics even more complex.

Awesome that it even learned Sit! Roll! Dead! Haha

Front legs movement looks good, it lifts the legs, but rear legs seem to drag over the floor, would be cool if all 4 would come off when walking (running).

Great job already anyway.

Ouch, hurts cause it's true. I hope to resolve that issue in model 7. He got them up while galloping though! In my defense I suggest checking out the prior two models. They were lighter and had a more aesthetic gate but not quite as fast. Here is #5.

Really nice.

LEGO Technic Creatures is an area where there should be sets.

I look forward to how this develops.  Would it manage a head and a panel-based body with a speed reduction (torque increase)?
