Thanks for your advice. I got sick with it all so I tore it apart and made
one on another chip: x-actly the same thing, the upper bicore starts to
oscilate likea madman, while the lower one acts as if nothing happened. Anny

in getting what they need is absolutely great! I would LOVE to see a
surplus company "spam" the list when new low voltage, high efficiency
motors are avaliable!
I personaly am thinking of doing a Quadrapod/Hexapod style kit in
limited runs. It's just an idea. I'm not sure if people would buy into
it, but if there was interest, I'd do them!
Only thing, is unless you can't get your own, I'd probably sell the kits
with out servos. If I added them, they'd just be the exact cost added.
Not sure if I'd even do it, but it's a thought.

from lynxmotion, and you simply just copy the design of the peices, you'll
have some pretty mad lawyers knocking on your door.
