A short set of visuals documenting the build of my first open source hexapod robot – Randall the First. Shout out to ArcBotics for being awesome.
Tag: hexapod
I just became one of the 366 backers for the Hexapod project on kickstarter, and the excitement is palpable. Why? Because come September I am getting an Arduino-powered, completely open-source, open-assembly, bluetooth enabled, low-cost, hexapod robot! Did I mention it has ultrasonic distance sensor eyes?
Since its heart beats on Arduino, I can customise add-ons such as speakers and 4G connectivity,while longer term I can make it talk to my Android phone. I can’t wait to see my toddler boy play with it!
Edit: I am planning to name it Randall.
