This is our prototype picaxe controlled hexapod walker.  It was designed by Aaron Powter & Brent Ceola in 2009.  It uses 3 RC Futaba servos which are driven from a picaxe 14M chip.  The robot was designed in Pro-Desktop, converted to DXF files and imported into 2D cut and produced on our Rolland MDX540.  The circuit board was designed on Circuit Wizard and the CAD-CAM data exported into PCB design and make.  The board was also produced on the Rolland milling machine.  This prototype model uses an ancillary power device running a continuous 6 volts DC at approx 1 amp.
