Certainly looks interesting.
Why not include the PICAXE program code and some constructional details to this thread
and then, add it to the Rev Ed Project Gallery w2ith a link to your thread here.
see: http://www.picaxe.com/Project-Gallery
While looking at your video was distracted by the Hexapod "Best of Dance videos
(eg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXMnbNoccgA&feature=related)
Certainly some intriguing hexapods out there.

Very very cool. And Fast! And well finished! Nicely done!
Not to threadjack, but my version of your project is here:

Thank you for your interest
It uses only two servos but the board has a third servo connector to add a pinching mandibulla (in the works).
The chalenge was to cram 3 servo controls, the remote control function, sound and light effects, plus the Infra-red obstacle avoidance
in one little 08M2. they was also 3 push button switches but they turn out not to be needed, since all the functions (including servo calibration) are accessible thru the remote.
The small PCB (4x6cm), single sided, zero straps, serves as a chasis for the servo.
The bug is rather small and light (88g total with battery and ladybug cover)

Yes, I believe it may be of interest to others now and/or future.
But without your circuit and the PICAXE program code no one can really replicate your project (even if they might want a differnt style of "shell").
I will document the project, it will take a little while.
In the mean time, I had fun doing this little video:

Thanks for your interrest.

The board has a mini USB. Do you program the PICAXE through that? If yes, why use a mini USB vs the more common PICAXE audio jack?
Thank you, it's so easy with available software. I am amazed that it is all freeware.Very neat video Moninos.

I think this is a great little project- well done! I like the cute little remote, too: unfortunately I saw this after I had ordered a Picaxe remote...
