  1. hexapod robot: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3ySNng9vsg

  2. delta robot, conjoined with hexapod (because I'm too cheap to get more servos): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCag65sA9IQ

Also put up an instructable about the hexapod, which won me an award for "best use of usb": http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-build-a-wireless-hexapod-robot/

I released the hexapod code open source: http://visual-hexapod.sourceforge.net/

I intend to rewrite the code to use proper inverse kinematics.

Question: Is there a way to use a #pragma to tell arduino what board I'm using? I hate having to change my project settings every time I switch projects.

I would love to get the hexapod into MAKE magazine but so far no response to my inquiries. I also sell all the parts you would need to assemble your own.
