In this chapter, you'll build a quadruped robots. You'll be using 12 servos so that each leg has three points that can move, or three Degrees of Freedom (DOF). In this project, you'll control 12 servos at the same time; so it makes sense to use an external servo controller that can supply the control signals and supply voltages for all 12 servos. Since servos are the main component of this project, it will perhaps be useful to go through a tutorial on servos and learn how to control them.
