Ready for some more fails? Ok. So, the legs on the quad were too long for the mini servos to hold all of the weight needed to get this thing moving. So I disassembled it like a Johnny Five nightmare. I made shorter legs, a lighter weight platform from corrugated cardboard doubled for rigidity, and covered with card stock for looks. The legs now use popsicle sticks and wooden dowels. I will add cardboard and cardstock details to it after I write some more code and get the wires all plugged in right. I also decided I could make a hexapod with the hardware I already have, also to help support more weight. I'm creeping closer to a working version, one step at a time.
