Stewart Platform

Hello guys, i am currently doing up on an Final Year Project which requires us to make a stewart platform. As i am new to it, can i check if anyone would be kind enough to list out a step by step guide for us? For the servos placement, can i know if the distance would affect the overall performance and how should i calculate the servos placement? Is there any calculation related to the stewart platform that i need to know beforehand? I will also be using an arduino uno board to interface it, so if anyone have any sample codes can you guys share it with me?
THANKS!!

Unfortunately we do not have any Stewart Platform kits, though we have seen quite a few created by users online - a quick search should give some results.
Otherwise perhaps someone here has had experience with building one and can share their knowledge.
