Russ from Dagu, the inventor of the Chopstix robot has productised the "octapod" and we will soon have it up for sale at RoboSavvy store.
The kit version has a whole lot of goodness for big sized (~60cm, ~5kg) robot with a relatively small pricetag (probably around ~400GBP). Here is a preliminary list of components and features:

- 24 x 17kgs-cm @ 7.2 servos (with brass gears and dual bearings)
- additional servo mounted between the front legs. This is to allow a small optional range finding sensor

- foot collision sensors (to deal with uneven terrain)
- leg clutch mechanism to impact prevent wear and damage
- 5000mAH LiPo battery + charger
- Optional embedded linux + wifi + webcam + RoboRealm software
