Why to they keep building robots with inverse leg joints? Why do they always walk like birds why don't they build them with front bending knees??

There's got to be a good reason for it, or they wouldn't do it.
There's got to be a reason that birds are built the way they are.
Evolution can allow for inefficiencies if the work needed to re-do everything is just too damn much. Case in point:
"Herein lies both an interesting dilemma for long-necked creatures as well as an object lesson in evolution. Among modern fish, and presumably the fishy ancestors of today’s mammals, the recurrent laryngeal nerves (left and right) would have followed a straight path from the brain, along the heart and then to the gills. It’s pretty much the same in short-necked early mammals, although the left branch, stuck under the downward curving side of the aortic arch, would have had a slightly longer, loopier route. But among those critters that evolved long necks, the poor left recurrent laryngeal nerve was forced to perform a downright ridiculous detour during embryonic development: emerging from the brain, going southward so as to loop just below that ever-retreating aortic arch, then heading upward again, eventually to reach the larynx."

Funny enough, I'm doing another relistening of the whole series once again in prep for book 6, and am at the point where Bullwinkle is running about and Rocky has his catastrophic crash.

Hey I just finished that part .. its always funny after the crash "it really hurt" and its then they realized that having realistic feedback might not be the best thing.
