is it possible to make is on a much larger scale? so much so that an average human can ride it?

[imrobot]

could it walk?

[Ismith17]

not very well but it would walk better if you used bigger balsa wood.

[Venemot]

or u could slow it down a little....add rubber paddings to the legs and give it some weight...like u said about using bigger balsa
