Also, I added 10 pounds to a toeless TrotBot that used LEGO's plastic axles, but they twisted so much that TrotBot could barely walk, so I replaced the plastic axles with steel axles before filming this test. I should have included a clip of the plastic axle version to better show how heavy walkers with bumpy gaits may need LEGO's plastic axles replaced with steel axles.
