I suspect that there will be an error tollerence with my manual timing. I stopped the watch when the robot had definately (well visibly as least) reached the finish line rather that passing the finish line. This may account for the difference our times.
I wonder if there is a more scientific (and easy) way to measure the speeds, breaking light beams perhaps. By easy I mean I don't want to spend half a day soldering components together.
P.S. Nothing sinister meant by the

Finaly found some time to work on my Bipeds.
I have experimented on some faster gaits for my Biolod. I conjured up a quick gait which involved rapid sidestepping. It clocked up the following time:
Average Time: 4.8 seconds
Distance: 1 metre
Robot: Standard Bioloid
Floor Surface: Wooden Flooring
That is a whopping improvement over the Robonovas top time - which makes it the new leader of this virtual race. I wonder if the Robonova could also go faster with a side stepping gait?
It would be great to hear of timings from any Kondo owners.
