Hey there Folks,
I am currently developing a design for a hexapod.
I have the legs pretty much designed and they will sort of be 'axil mounted on 3 servo's'.
I am looking to find ther best options to mount my controller which is a RoBoard CPU. I will also need to mount the batteries plus sensors.

Basically the electronics will be mounted above the legs on a platform
I am wondering if anyone has a pointer to an off-the-shelf sollution or something similar, otherwise I will have to do a designed and customised job which is not desireable at this time....
I will be using LiPo batteries with power regulator... gyro, Acc, camera and maybe some other sensors...

Any thoughts are appreciated.

I am waiting for a quote for my leg systems... some might be surprised at my design, but I am not telling until later on once the assembling gets further done this year...

Hi,

I've build an hexapod based on a Roboard with Linux.
