I must admit this has been the coolest looking and preforming hex pod I've seen.

wow, I have some of those servos but mine don't move that smooth, even with a sequencer.  I wonder how he made that top piece; vacuum forming maybe?

Then I mounted the upper body plate with the bottom side upwards onto the frame. After that I started to heat up the body plate (ABS plastic) with the heating gun. You've to heat it alot until a critical point when the plastic starts to get very soft. At this point you can easily shape it using different tools like a hammer etc. I used the pressured air for fast coolant.
This picture show my first attempt that didn't go so very well because I was stupid enough to drill the holes for the head section before I started the "molding" process.

That thing moves sooo cool, although seeing it walk after all that was a little disappointing, I definitely can't complain!

it looks really smooth and life-like standing still and moving around its head and all, but doesn't look like that then moving.  If you look how a real spider walks or any six legged thing you can see the imperfections in the walking algorithm.

Yeah, i was expecting it to go a little faster, although it could not be able to walk at all, and I would still love it.
