Justin Siepel from Berkeley just pointed us to the Canid, a quadruped with an actively actuated spine that Kodlab is working on. Along with it, there is a paper that has a ton of information, not just about the Canid but about all the RHex designs they have built.

http://kodlab.seas.upenn.edu/uploads/Main/spie12.pdf

It includes tables that compare all the different types of RHex designs they made, including dimensions, weights, motors, batteries, mechanical and electrical info, and exact parts they used. I think everyone should read this before we go any further with designs. This is the best guide we have so far by a lot.
