Guys using some of the objects in the object exchange I made a hexapod engine.

Heres a video.· my codes a little messy but I will post more plus schematics with a few days.

Let me know what you think.

    Wow. Just, Wow. The IK demonstration alone was amazing, not to mention the engineering that went into the bot. Great work!

    That is fantastic. My wife says it looks like a replicator from stargate, so watch out!

    Turning will involve some high school trig. You knew that stuff will come in useful one day.

    What sort of servos are you using? They must have pretty good torque. Metal gears?

    Very nice! Norris Labs has done some work with the Propeller and Crustcrawler hexapods and has posted some code here http://norrislabs.com/ . You seem to have gone several steps further though because I believe that he uses a servo controller. You should consider writing this up for one of the robot magazines from fabrication to programming. Again, outstanding work!!!
