Itty Bitty RoboKitty (a new OpenCat)

The model is now available on Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/petoi/bittle/

Tested on multiple gaits, random slope walking and long march in deep snow.

I received some new servo samples to test on my old prototype frame.
8 DoF using RC servos, 280 g with 2S 14500 batteries for 30 mins walking.
Driven by OpenCat code on NyBoard V0 (Arduino Uno equivalent with 2K SRAM, 32K flash, 20MHz clock). With recent code optimization and better servos, its performance is improved dramatically. It's another example to show the potential of OpenCat framework, and homemade robots in general.

There's a shorter compilation at https://youtu.be/X6YV2Hxv5Ak showing bounding gait.

Bitty's brother Nybble is available on Indiegogo: igg.me/at/nybble
