Hi,
I am trying to build a siw-legged walking robot. No problem with the 
programming part : using Microchip pic4620, I can control effectively 12 
servos, and tested the program with those 12 servos (see picture :

Then I build on leg (picture :

The problem arises when I put everything together :

The machine seems to be too heavy, and the servos seem to ask for much 
more power I can give them.
Any hint on how to control this power demand ? SOme mechanical or 
electronical solution, or at list some pointers ?
Thanks !
