Hi Fellas.

I haven't been here for a while but have been keeping up from time to time anyways I wanted to introduce my new robot.

I wanted a nice Hex but I had issues with the Phoenix route so decided EZ-B was the way to go. So armed with a decent Chinese Aluminium Hex body I set to getting this thing built.

Today it took its first steps. I don't have a name yet but im sure it will come I put up some videos soon. ive just got to get it all connected again.

Im loving how easy it is to create programs with the ARC I had it walking in 2 hours

so here it is:

Im planning some sensors and maybe an attack Mode with fangs on another servo to chase the cats out of my garden.

thanks for reading. I hope the pictures are there this is my first upload...

Andre.

You are correct. It's a 10 deg fishery from that popular bidding site. I have yet to play with it but it looks pretty good so far

Andre,

Nice Hexapod, very similar to mine, but mine is in black anodised Aluminum, see video below. I did find that with a heavy duty battery pack, EZB controller, and having 20x MG996R servo's ( 18 for legs and 2 for the senors ) did make it very heavy.

I'm running 2x 7.4v 5000 mah making 10000 mah. it lasts about an hour I haven't really timed it. It is quite heavy but it seems to be ok. And the last post should say a 180 deg lens

@cem that's real smooth! Blows away the Intel Hexapods.

@cem , What hexapod frame did you use? It resembles a Phoenix, but appears to be slightly different.
