swashbot: four servos=fun

I-Wei Huang, the master of steam powered robotics- see CrabFu.com and all-around great guy (we met at Maker: Faire) has fallen off the steam-powered wagon this time, but still managed to create a very cool three-legged RC robot he is calling Swashbot.

The principle of the movement and control is based on an RC helicopter's swash plate hence the name, and is controlled via an ECCPM helicopter transmitter. All spare parts he had lying around. Read all about it at his website but first watch this awesome video...
