Cheap four-legged insect robot

Today I decided to make this robot walk, however awkward a walk it will be. I didn't write the code for smooth movement of the servos, so it's all jerky and crude, but it is something.

The most important change now is to make the tiling of the body smoother. Right now it's really unacceptably sudden, and since it moves the whole robot, it puts a lot of strain on the servos. Next will come fine-tuning of the step size and movement speed. Once I have it all reasonably smooth, I will experiment with turning.
