Just on one leg

[Pev]

Well I had a chance to have a "play" before work this morning and Spaz (named him because of his spasmodic movements due to the know bug) has managed to start to get to grips with his balance. Wanted to do something simple before I started trying to get walking working so I went for a one legged stand.

Well done for a Spaz! Is he also suffering from an early stage joint rheumatism? Sounds so! (Sorry, only joking! And I apologize with all suffering from these diseases).

Pev, it sounds as if you have some sort of unhealthy friktion. Cables rubbing?

Ah yes the creaking - that was the ankle bracket I think, literally creaking due to the amount of weight and stress on it. That move does need a tweak as I tweaked the beginning and end moves but didn't sort out the middle one (got short of time).

Have also tried removing the battery and that improves things so may think about trying something lighter like lith-Poly
