For about the same price, you can build a "spot micro" [1] if you have a 3D printer. I haven't build one myself (yet) but it's been fun following them. I came across them when someone in HN posted how to train it using OpenGym (will find the link when I'm not on mobile). [1] https://gitlab.com/custom_robots/spotmicroai
It is easy to make a spot shaped object. Making it walk is the hard part.

Do you happen to have a video of the spot micro actually walking? I can’t seem to find any. It is easy to make a spot shaped object. Making it walk is the hard part.
should not be 600 those servos are pricey
edit: to clarify this isn't a negative comment/criticism. I'm saying I fantasize about having a platform like this but with the capabilities I mentioned(which I'm aware is not easy).
Currently I can't even program/make that gait that makes it move so smoothly so I'm definitely not criticizing.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
> the "Nano Dog" is probably a cheaper and more approachable option for the garage engineer. Hard to find out much about that or OpenDog in general. I've found videos and 3d printer files but nothing that I can read to understand what it can do and why I might want to build it. Or do I really have to watch a bunch of YouTube videos? I hate video. Have I missed the actual project page somehow?
https://github.com/XRobots/miniDogV2 The code's a bit of a mess -- James is clearly not a software engineer first. This is totally understandable, given that he does so many other things! When I first saw the code, I thought about doing a refactoring pass and making a pull request. It would be painful to test correctness without the hardware, and I don't want to make things worse, so I haven't.
