Wow dude nice robots, and nice cars! I'm very impressed that you knew how to wire two 555's as inverters! I can't do that, all I can do is follow a diagram,...

Yes, I think that sort of integration was the idea of the hextiles. The cubelets seem to prevent a fairly simple, manipulative and intuitive. But at $520 for...

That's some good work. You could try using a 6 Nv loop as a main walking cpg to control your hexapod instead of the the 4 Nv Loop, or perhaps two linked...
