Introduction

Servoless octopod - mechanical walking robot/platform

I built this for the challenge, I was inspired to improve upon the ideas that (former Mythbuster) Jamie Hyneman shared in his project videos from 2015. 

The key my version of his creepy crawly is what I'm calling a Flexapod mechanism. An Arrangement of cams, shafts and bearings that enables super radpid movement and adaptability over rough ground. Also it is quite capable of making people's skin crawl and squirm.

It uses 3D printing and off-the-shelf  RC parts: battery, bearings, motors, controllers, screws, bolts aswell as a few custom bits
