Ok, Ok, this actually isn’t a battle between a cat and a Hexapod, but its a video with a cat and a hexapod, so that counts for something, right? This video, uploaded to user NOXGENUS RECORDINGS on YouTube, features a Trossen Robotics PhantomX AX Hexapod with Dynamixel AX-18 servos running Phoenix Code. The user mentions having blown a cell in the LiPo battery in the video description, and it is advisable to take caution when charging, storing, and using LiPo batteries. This PhantomX exhibits some interesting gaits, and is generally amusing to watch (look for the cat). Though we don’t officially support the Phoenix Code or Firmware (it is a community driven project), we offer a guide to get anyone interested started with it!
