Building my first Bot: Quadruped

I used to do mechanics and I’m an old RC hound. I locktite most everything.

No I’m bought my servo’s from heads up hobby. I’ve used them a lot. Here’s the servo link to the ones I bought.

Which motor shield do I get
Which motor shield do I get for the nanov3.0 to be able to wire it to the Torobot controller? I mistakenly bought the one with screw heads.

Oh ok I thought I needed
Oh ok I thought I needed one. Will a nano 3.0 be enough to control 18 servos? What would you reccomend? Something budget minded and can connect to the servo controller directly?

The Arduino Servo library,
The Arduino Servo library, which is the default way of controlling servos, lets you control up to 12 servos on Arduino Nano. It’s possible to write your own library that will let you control more, for instance, the aforementioned Stubby hexapod has an AVR library that controls its 18 servos. There are also libraries that let you connect servos through a shift register, so that you really can have a lot of them.
