It Drags it's feet, the soles are almost non-skid the brackets along the weather. So, the robot walks straight

Nice design

But in your description you mention four servos and the ability to turn..

The video and pictures shows only one servo and it only walks in a straight line. Is this only the first sketch/mock-up of a robot still in the making?

Superb

Superb design.

"...In the center of gravity to move the ankle, knee bent and her feet to walk properly..."

Her ? ...not often seen... :-)

Femininity

Machines are nearly always female. Here, cars are almost always referred to as "her". All my robots are female. But that's because they're stubborn ... !

ingpaster?

 I see you've changed your description.. And here I was hoping you'd made some sort of DIY Lego hardware..

But tell me this: Are you Mr. Yoshihito Isogawa? Since you are posting pictures from Mr. Isogawas website I assume you are him. What happened to the running robot you was building in March? Since you're posting an almost two year old robot now,I guess something bad happened..

aagh

 FritsL.. You're ruining my fun here!!

I was stringing the guy along trying to see how good a liar he was.

 Actually I found it through Legos NXTLog. They hosted a Biped Construction Challenge, and this particular biped was being shown as an excample for inspiration. With a short interview by the maker, and his name wasn't Ethan Steininger, and he had never competed in the Maccabi Games..

Aren't we a bit harch now?

Technically there is a possabillity that:

a)Mr. Isogawa copied Robo_Overlords design backin 2006

or

b) That Mr. Isogawas username at picasaweb is Ethan Steininger

and 

c)That the claim that the robot has four motors and can turn was a typo.

So in case we're harrazing an innocent person, I'll continiue to learn more about the robot.. So, How do you use the TWO ultrasonic sensors you mention, how are they connected, and why use TWO? I cant understand from the NXT screen capture what they do..

The first one has 36 servos and can swing around its point of gravity and has momentum and stuff.

The second uses IR, ultrasound and ultralight to navigate, the radar isn't working yet, but will mount a X-ray to see through obsticalz.

The third can friggin' fly.

The fourth one is invisible.

Beat that!!

-Oh and the wife wont let me wear latex on weekday..

Invisible?

I can clearly see the fourth one. Perhaps it's switched off? Switch it on and take a new photograph and I'll tell you if I can still see it.
