Robotics help: stronger motors?

I Am Blashyrkh asked:


I am a kinetic sculptor and I want to create a light following robot that walks. The mechanics for the walking are not new to me but the robotics/programming stuff definitely is. Ive been trying to figure out how to build everything and everything i find is for tiny little micro bug type things. The form I want to build would be bigger and would need stronger motors and obviously a bigger power source. (im even thinking of scaling up once i figure this first one out) Its basically two sets of legs, each with their own motor to facilitate turning. Since everything i find is tiny wimpy things my question is, if I build the circuit board and program it and everything the way I see it on other bots, what would I need to change to accommodate the stronger servos that I would be using? Its probably a stupid question but i am definitely new to robotics. I know I cant just put a bigger battery and stronger motors on the same board. What would I need to change? Also, if you don't mind, can I contact any of you directly for further questions? If not just say so.

    you could made it with 5v – 12v or even with24v motors they give your robots a good size many feet tall.
    making even big robots (probably the size of a car) will cost you buying a car lol
