Just in time for the holidays we've come up with one more theme for the new HexPummer Lantern. Behold, the winter theme! It has a snowman, snow fla
ke, a holiday tree and some holly to fulfill all your blinky festive needs. Better nab it quick - this design will only be around for a month or so before it gets put away in the closet for next year.
In other news, we'd like to welcome Robotev as our newest distributor - they're the first dedicated robotics shop in Bulgaria. Check them out at www.robotev.com (you may want to brush up on your Bulgarian first!)
And we'd just like to send out a big "HAPPY THANKSGIVING!" to our fine American friends - may your belly fill with all the finest poultry your heart desires. While we will be open regular hours all this week and filling orders, please note that shipments into the US placed on Thursday the 27th will be delayed a day as couriers are also going to be eating a lot of turkey observing the holiday.

BEP Application: Servocore Walker
The following instructions detail how to build a Servocore walker. A Servocore walker differs from a regular walker by utilizing the internal electronics in unmodified servos, which give position feedback from the motor in the servo. This position feedback allows for very long stride lengths without the use of mechanical stops or springs.
