This document discusses the development of code for controlling a hexapod robot called Hexy. It includes the original code from ArcBotics and work-in-progress code by Mithi Sevilla. It also briefly touches on Python programming principles like PEP8, minimal duplication, and meaningful names. The document compares two different approaches to structuring the classes for controlling the hexapod's legs and neck.

29. PEP8? PEP20? DRY?
Minimal Duplication?
Intention-Revealing,
Meaningful Names?
What else?

37. Class Hexapod():
#six Leg objects, one Neck object
Class Leg():
def hip(angle):
def knee(angle):
def ankle(angle):
def replant_foot(h, k, a):
....
Class Neck():
def pose(angle):
def off():

38. Class Hexapod():
#six Leg objects, one Neck object
Class Leg():
#three Joint objects: hip, ankle, knee
def move(h, k, a):
...
Class Joint():
def pose(angle)
def off()
