I can't believe how life like the movement is. Just to move the head up and across, every single part of the body moves in the required direction to make it happen. Very impressive!

I studied how it was made and it is a custom kit. When you see a Hexapod robot, the parts can easily be over a thousand or two. My guess is that it is close to twenty five hundren or three thousand.

mmm maybe its not so difficult if you only need to lines per servo?


You can buy almost the same robot body from them but the price is quite alot..
