a good timing unit isthe "atomic clock ic kit" from mondo-tronics.it uses the
atomic-clock frequency to time any amountof robots...the steep 90$price
definatley pans out in the end...btw
i saw a show on the discovery channel about 2 years ago that had a biped
walker that "popped" two "leggs(looked like broomsticks") andit had a motor
that never went fully around as a gyro. if you read the BATTLETECH "MECH
BOOKS" you can get very good ideas for nitinol wire....i have been
researching this...
