If you're looking for a good place to start, I highly recommend reading Ben Katz' blog and thesis:

Thesis: "Low Cost, High Performance Actuators for Dynamic Robots" https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2x3Di8kVjT3N3BkQzhSQ3FwTU...

(Edit to note: Ben's design uses gears and thus is not direct drive, but his bot still has lots of power and software-controlled "springiness".)

Thanks for the linkS!

Know of any other good beginner guides to get going on brushless dc motors for robotics?
