Orange uBug V2. Pan & Grip Head test. This version of the uBug is using Hitec HS-65HB servos, Battery source is a 6V 2600mah AA NiMh pack. Control is using a 3 axis joystick via the PodJoy application connected via bluetooth to the p.Brain-uHexEngine. The Pan & Grip head is obviously only suitable for light duty loads, but a fun addition none the less 
Hexapod weight including battery pack and electronics is 585g. More info can be found at: www.hexapodrobot.com

micromagic systems MSR-H01 Hexapod BS2p Tutorial 3, HexEngine controlled by basic stamp (BS2p). SFR08 module on the head of the hexapod is connected to the I2C bus of the HexEngine, the BS2p polls data from the HexEngine and sends back serial packets to control the HexEngine. No sound.
B.F. Hexapod terrain adaptation test, using p.Brain locomotion engine and 3DOF gimbal contact sensor. In this test, the gait delay = 0.5, leg lift = Off-Road, leg transition speed = 1.2s.
Just a bit of fun.. Using B.F. Hexapod as a pen plotter. DXF files are converted to translation moves and fed to the hexapod in sequence. The idea is to replace the pen with a small routing head, and then try to cut something! Routing resolution is pretty low, but you get the idea.
