Could you build this?
No Jumper is a physical 22-servo dynamic quadruped/crab robot involving custom mechanical CAD design, motor control electronics, and advanced dynamic locomotion control algorithms.
What it would actually take: Requires mechanical engineering in CAD (for 3D printed/CNC chassis), embedded firmware development for 22 dual-encoder bus servos, PCB design for power and motor control, and complex quadrupedal inverse kinematics and balance control algorithms (e.g., using ROS2, Isaac Gym, or custom gait controllers).
