How to build a wireless hexapod robot

Step 16There most intrepid step

There most intrepid step
Thank you for taking the time to read through this explanation - and for building a hexapod!

If you are like me then you will find the greatest pleasure comes not just from building the robot but from taking it somewhere new.  Some ideas:
- Put sensors so it can climb over things
- Add a pen to make it a CNC plotter.  Add a CakeBot extruder to make a rapid prototyping machine.  There's already some code to make the hexapod into a CNC router.  I plan to do this to try and win the Gada prize.
- Build several and have them work together!  The code already supports controlling multiple hexapods.
- Add a roll joint to the front two legs so that they can be used like hands.
- Decorate your hexapod
- Weatherproof/Waterproof your hexapod
- Find a way to put a single battery instead of two.  Find lighter batteries!

These are just some of the things I would like to try.  You may have other ideas.
The possibilities are vast and the future bright.  If you make something, send me a picture or a video!  I'd love to hear about it.
