The laser-cut parts arrived from www.pololu.com and the hexapod is taking shape. There were a couple of minor errors in the plans... no show-stoppers, but it's surprisingly hard to use 2D CAD to design flat parts that get assembled in 3D. :-) Only two legs built so far, the rest will probably have to wait until after the holidays. I post some pictures when it starts to look like a robot. :-)
