You know I like my robot stories, this one’s great:
Asurada entered the quadrupedal automaton in the Ninth Robo-One competition in Tokyo, where it wowed the crowds with such moves as the crab crawl, humanoid pose-down, and the most difficult position of all, the Iron Cross (well, kind of). Unfortunately for the design team, RAYERD-X, for all 28 of its servos and innumerable configurations, only captured 24th place at what must have been an extremely heated competition, although it did manage to take home the pretty important-sounding “Sunrise Special Prize.”
Go and have a look at the video here.

RAYERD-X was number 24 in the technical portion of the competition, and was really impressive. What was really amazing was the robot that won the technical competition - OMNIZERO.2 http://www.robots-dreams.com/2006/03/roboone_9_omniz.html
