## Summary

The DIY bipedal robot CBR-II has released its third version (V3), walking more confidently with noticeably less jitter, but when "forward" is immediately followed by "stop," the front foot still slams heavily into the ground. In simulation, V3 balances on one leg every time, but on the real machine it is still far from perfect; the author says the hardware is too fragile, with one joint breaking three times in a day and a GT2 belt snapping, and the project ends here for this year.
