I used silver brackets and 5995 servos plenty of spare power.
Now I am in the process of writting a gait program using a stamp and parallax servo controller. I currently waiting for a PCB board I made for this project I will post that as well. I tried to make it as small as possible to knock of some wieght.
Hate to say it, but the Parallax servo controller is going to make it really difficult to program the bot for walking. The SSC-32 has the ability to syncronize all of the servos being moved so they start and stop at the same time. If you use a global time value for the movements it is also very easy to speed up or slow down the entire sequence of movements, just by changing one variable. Congrats on the construction, can’t wait to see that beast walking with the 5995 servos! Good luck!
