Recent work on the robotic fish I work on

These are not my robots, nor was I involved in their mechanical design or the software that runs them. But I am currently working on the hardware aspect of the fish, specifically electronics and firmware programming. Here's a video of the robot being tested with a custom servo controller, capable of running 6 servos (expandable to 12, with 4 currently in the robot). Also, since we use digital servos which don't free-wheel, the electronic power switching of these servos was also being tested.
