Solved the equation for the octopod, I needed to reconfigure equation to be 2*N1=2*N2. I had originally thought that simplifying to N1=N2 would work... odd.
I found one of the major errors in my N2 formula for the hex so now if my above logic is correct I'm within 0.5 (N2 high) for the hexapod and 1.96 (N1 high) for the octopod.

HELP legged robot torque math
I am trying to modify Ferret's Quad Torque spreadsheet to work with hex and octopods. The first problem I am running into when calculating N1 & N2. The numbers I am getting don't look right to me and...
Well the results look promising... managed to get the weight down below 6 pounds (still have to finalize the parts then generate STL files to run through my slicer to estimate final part weight more...
KurtEck, I'll have to redo the cad to see if the smaller size would offset the increased weight of the actuator and slightly less torque, stay tuned...
So kinda went back to the drawing board after figuring out the torques required for the large spider :( Redesigned to use AX-18A servos, so now that it's much smaller (and cuter according to my wife)...
