Deca - a walkerbot

Inspired by Theo Jansen's Strandbeests. After making the Glowstrand (http://www.coolkidsrobots.com/robot/glowstrand), I decided that I wanted to design something that was all mine... and with a big change, Mid Outboard Motors, using some cheaper more available gear motors. I got the motors from IC Station, but they are available in many stores. They must have the dual output shafts for this design. Deca is very fast, its going to need some excellent sensors and processing, I'm using a Parallax Propeller Quickstart board and a L9110S DC/Stepper Motor Driver Board for motor control. It also has eight 4 x 10 x 4mm ball bearings for the big gears. I used short pieces of filament for pins on all the leg joints, carefully melted over the ends to make them stay put. The frames are held together with four 125mm long pieces of m4 threaded rod, and a bunch of nuts and the 8mm and 11mm spacers. I used nylon nuts mostly. For the big gears, I used two 53mm long pieces of m4 threaded rod as axles,
