Title: Penguin Old Age Walk
Code Name: penguin_old_age_walk.bpx
Purpose: Penguin robot walks slow and shaky


Penguin robot is the astronaut in the classic scifi movie 2001 A Space
Odyssey. At the end of the movie, he's in bed staring up at the
ceiling, then decides to get up for a glass of water. By now, he's
so old, severely aged by time travel, that he can hardly walk!
Take a look at Penguins Old Age Walk!

' Use the servo calibrator program and record the two calibrated
' values of tilt and stride. Enter these values in the declarations
' section above for CenterTilt and CenterStride. Note that calibrated
' numbers should be very close to 1900. This will include a slight
' offset. The offset and code sets up mechanical harmonic
' oscillations to develop shaking in the servo movements.
