Mole's ModHex
Description
The original didn't work with the servos I had on hand, and I wanted to be able to add more articulation and improve bits without having to start over from scratch. Thus: the Modular Hexapod. The dovetail tongue and groove design was inspired by the Simple Spool System for Makerbot http://www.thingiverse.com/derivative:5005 I wanted to be able to switch out parts as I improve them and to avoid absolute positioning. Video of my first configuration in action: http://www.flickr.com/photos/moleofproduction/5318014248/ More videos w/ creepiness cranked up to 11: http://www.flickr.com/photos/moleofproduction/5331316152/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/moleofproduction/5330707869/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/moleofproduction/5331321724/ I used the nifty Pololu Micro Maestro x6 servo controller and 4 AAA batteries to get things moving.
