-- Lua "motor driver" for a four legged (aka quadruped) walking robot
-- 
-- This script consumes controller outputs (i.e. roll, pitch, yaw/steering, throttle, lateral) from
-- the vehicle code and then calculates the outputs for 12 servos controlling four legs
--
-- AutoPilot servo connections:
-- Output1: front right coxa (hip) servo
-- Output2: front right femur (thigh) servo
-- Output3: front right tibia (shin) servo
-- Output4: front left coxa (hip) servo
-- Output5: front left femur (thigh) servo
-- Output6: front left tibia (shin) servo
-- Output7: back right coxa (hip) servo
-- Output8: back right femur (thigh) servo
-- Output9: back right tibia (shin) servo
-- Output10: back left coxa (hip) servo
-- Output11: back left femur (thigh) servo
-- Output12: back left tibia (shin) servo
