Everything in this project can kill you.
I'm not an engineer, I'm not a programmer nor do I have any kind of useful expertise.
You shouldn't be doing this DIY project without professional help.
You can die. You've been warned.

Project summarization:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qyQYm0QjpYjyiu1zU5EMsVFoiNilVkun_hlkQe6SLAA/edit?usp=sharing
In summary:
- It is too complex for a single person to make it alone, I would need a degree on electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, electronic engineering and electrochemistry in order to design and build everything from scratch.
(to this day I still couldn't find exactly how much power each actuator would need to output, so if I'm having difficult with just that, imagine the rest) - For a mech that runs at the same speed as an human being (14 kilometers per hour), you would need so much power that the machine would consume dozens of kilograms of gasoline per hour while a conventional wheeled vehicle can go much faster at lower fuel usage.
- I'm super broke and I would need to try to build it multiple times using multiple tools which I can't afford.
I always thought it would be an actuator problem or the like, but I was wrong.
(I only talk about the essentials and more promising ideas of the project, however, none of them are proved to work, this project was researched knowingly it was doomed to never work, but it was done so for fun.)

Well, the thing is: I kinda wanted to make Project Log 90 the final project log...
However, I kept procrastinating, and procrastinating, and procrastinating, and procrastinating so much that I eventually reached 800 pages on google docs (link). And now I kinda gave up on the project...
... At least until I feel like trying to continue it again.
So, from Project Log 91 to Project Log 121, I'm just copy-pasting the Project Log 90 into the Hackaday blog because it is too long to fit in a single project log.
Confusing? Yeah, sometimes I feel like whatever the hell I write looks like the ramblings of a madman.
(I have ADHD, Depression and Anxiety [I am medicated {I've done this project just to keep me sane as a distraction to everything happening in the world and around me}])
