Building a giant robot made out of a ladder (was how much energy is in a foot step)

Experiment. I once asked how much energy is in a foot step, and found
a web page claiming a walking
person's foot pressing down and back up can come with as much as 200
watts. Another person in this group calculated around 7 watts.

I imagined cars in populated cities producing electricity by passing
through a 'weight station'.

A giant is built, one doesn't need to rely on the footsteps in Hong
Kong. This giant is a one ton ladder. To lift it (by one person) is
impossible. This ladder is very tall. The key is that it walks tipping
like a giant with it's two legs. The taller the ladder the easier it
is to tip it side to side from one leg to the other leg by a person's
arm. This is a super human ladder with super human weight, two legs
and it tips right and left with much more weight than a person. Now
comes the easy part: Let's make electricity.
