Angled legs for additional range of movement with 3 DOF (degree of freedom)
Made with PVC and high-quality aluminum servo erector set brackets
Includes durable aluminum and plastic parts
Advanced development kit
The Lynxmotion A-Pod Hexapod Robot Kit (Hardware Only) is insect inspired. The angled legs provides additional range of movement. The three DOF (degree of freedom) leg design means the robot can walk in any direction. The robot has been designed to use 18 HS-645 servos for the legs and an additional 7 servos for the head and tail. It's truly amazing to see in action.
The Mechanics The robot is made from precision-cut PVC and ultra-tough high-quality aluminum servo erector set brackets.
Note that this is NOT a toy but rather an advanced legged development platform. Mechanical assembly instructions are provided. but the user must select electronics and program the robot. The Phoenix code (compatible with Lynxmotion's BotBoarduino microcontroller + SSC-32 servo controller + PS2 remote control) can be adapted for use with this robot at the discretion of the user.
The kit is very well organized and the overall assembly is divided into part groups. Everything needed to assemble a group comes in a separate bag that includes a packaging list with part names and pictures. The individual parts are sorted by type and packed in small bags. The online assembly guide is easy to follow, although I recommend reading it from the top to the bottom line before putting any parts together. The build and material quality of all parts is very good and guarantees a hassle-free build experience. To complete the A-Pod takes some time, but it was allways fun and I learned a lot. Lynxmotion robot kits have a good reputation and after building the A-Pod I can say that this is well deserved.

Bon produit.
Le kit est très bien organisé et l'ensemble est divisé en groupes de pièces. Tout le nécessaire pour assembler un groupe est fourni dans un sac séparé contenant une liste d’emballages avec noms de pièces et images. Les pièces individuelles sont triées par type et emballées dans de petits sacs. Le guide d’assemblage en ligne est facile à suivre, bien que je recommande de le lire en commençant par le bas avant de rassembler les pièces. La construction et la qualité des matériaux de toutes les pièces sont très bonnes et garantissent une expérience de construction sans tracas. Compléter l'A-Pod prend du temps, mais c'était toujours amusant et j'ai beaucoup appris. Les kits robot Lynxmotion ont une bonne réputation et après avoir construit le A-Pod, je peux dire que cela est bien mérité.
