Hexapod

Extreme Hexapod-1 Walker
Click for larger image

The Extreme Hexapod 1 Walker Kit really walks using a simplified version of the alternating tripod gait. The robot's six legs are controlled by three servos to provide full stride, (horizontal motion), and 1" of leg lift, (vertical motion). The middle legs use a parallelogram design to make the lifting operation much more efficient.

With a payload of more than 12 oz., this robot has no trouble getting around. The robot is supplied with control electronics. A host PC is required to download programs to the robot.

Everything you need to get on the move is included in this kit.
