Problems!!
When I try to set zero positions with all my new servos, like Hivemind showed me, it gives me an error code that says "Zero Over Range". What's that mean?
Also, when my robot does a command and the legs are supposed to move outward, they turn instead. What the heck? Someone help!

Hi, don't be frustrated!
the over range is usually caused by wrong inserton angle of the servo horn. Try adjust zero offset first. Take out the screw of the servo horn.
manual adjust the leg (finally with a little offset) and use the "Compile...offset...." to finalize the offset procedure)
Please note that you should use the "insert" command to write the offset into the program.
The wrong motion of body parts may be caused the wrong connection of servo socket, please check carefully again.
I suggest you to use the the "Overall template program" of the Hitect to check the RN. try load it "compile...and download to robot"

If switching the servo ports doesnt work then I would say check the normal walking routine until it apears to function properly (ie: despite cp issues the legs move in the right patterns) from there you should figure out if your zeros are off, or if the program is calling for move g8b (for example) and is defining the servo position as something where you would rather it be not changed....
The servos are default at 100, which is sometimes called in the program just because it is easily written like this, and that could be why it is rotating or tilting.

Everything's been fixed. I'd tell you how I did it, but I have a friend over and I just want to tell you guys really quickly that everything's okay.
Unfortunately, none of the default actions work. I have to program new get-up and walk sequences. Sigh... Wish me luck.

Now that I've got the time, I'll explain how I fixed the turning and outward-ing servos... I just moved the turning servos to completely different ports. TADUH!
I'm going to do the zero positions for Kuroneko tonight. I hope to enter the Robo-Games next year, too. By then, I'm sure Kuroneko will be even stronger!

Kuroneko looks good!
Can you please post a closeup picture of his nether region or a different pose
.. seriously, i cant quite see how those extra leg servos work.
BTW: Please copy the image from imageshack to RoboSavvy and change the image link in your post (you can upload pictures through the "Manage Upload Files" link on the left). Images on imageshack are regularly erased leaving a hole in this thread where now stands a proud Kuroneko.

An interesting design. How does it perform? It's great that it comes from stock parts, but it also looks like it could be a little 'awkward', esp. walking? Any vids?
Also, this looks remarkably similar to one of Hiveminds designs posted a few months ago. Was that your inspiration? A picture of the mod Hivemind did is below, and this is the thread, which might help you out. I'm sure Hive would love to share his experiences with you.
