MD,
No problem here. It's just hard to read between the lines sometimes. When someone's post is quoted, it just tends to become more personal.
Peace! No harm no foul!

Here's a description from Boston Dynamics site about the power and movement:

Quote:
BigDog is powered by a gasoline engine that drives a hydraulic actuation system. BigDog's legs are articulated like an animal’s, and have compliant elements that absorb shock and recycle energy from one step to the next. BigDog is the size of a large dog or small mule, measuring 1 meter long, 0.7 meters tall and 75 kg weight.
