is there any reason why you choose exactly SSC-32 servo controller? what would be the difference with Mini Maestro 24-channel USB servo controller besides amount of servos?

[robots7]

@ordinary1passerby We manufacture the SSC-32, plus it's the best servo controller out there. ;)

[ordinary1passerby]

@robots7 why it's the best?

Do you guys provide the source code to all of the beautiful gaits? I am only 17 and the math that I see for walking gaits I don't get sometimes. I want to equip this thing with a beagle board xM and do some vision and gait stuff.

[robots7]

@linuxrobotdude The programming is available for free.

Any word on whether or not there will be a 4dof version of this, or is development of that limited because of the number of servos supported by the botboard2?

[robots7]

@BfndrGnrl There will be a 3DOF and a 4DOF version of this kit. We are not limited because we use the SSC-32 (32 channel servo controller) for these bots, just like Kåre did. ;)

Beautiful hex !!

Very smooth gait. Nice work!

Congratulations with your new hexapod! ;)

This is just pure awesomeness. I want to get into making robotics, but I need to save money to keep my family alive. :/

Hopefully I get a better job, soon.
