F-30 Revolution Six Vs. Six Hexapod

Please, does anyone know the difference between the Six with " F-30" and without? Thank you very much for answering. have no idea why this one has F-30 i n the name. wonder if it is different. It is my first EZ Robot or any Robot buy so have no idea if the F-30 means something or it is just an old name.

Hello @lulu

F-30 is the part number for Six (the hexapod robot kit).

If you are wondering about the difference between the Six that came in the box you've shown in your picture versus what is sold now, here are the differences:

  • The current Six has HDD (Heavy Duty Digital) servos which replaced the analog servos

  • The current Six has the EZ-Bv4.x/2 robot controller, this is the second revision of the WiFi board which has faster data throughput, and an updated webserver with more options

  • The current Six has the 3rd version of our Battery charger which is smarter and than previous versions

I hope that helps!

Thank you very much, so "F-30 Revolution Six 6 Wi-Fi Wireless Control Hexapod Android iOS" would be an old version. Is it worth buying for the parts if they still work with current parts? otherwise the poor thing would probably become plastic recycle. Really appreciate your help.

Yes, all the parts are backward compatible with the new parts and would still operate just fine in the latest ARC.

great, thanks. then i can rescue the old one and it would serve as parts for a new one. some well meaning adult probably got it for a kid who was totally uninterested and didn't even open the box.

Hi @lulu,

The HD servo is analog, versus HDD which is digital. The Analog servos will still work just fine, the differences being: Digital is quieter and requires less fine tuning.
