* It has 6 legs, each leg has 3 joint. So there are total `18`**Servo motors** (TowerPro `MG92B`)

* Linkt 7697 dont have so many **PWM control**, so NXP `PCA9685` x 2 are used to control these servo motors

* **Power** comes from a `2S Lipo battery (7.4v)`. Also 7 x `mini360 DC-DC` step down voltage regulator are used. One to provide `5V` to Linkit 7697, The other six to provide `6V` to each legs (1 mini360 serve 3 servo)
