Posted: Wed Oct 01, 2014 2:03 pm
Description:
This six legged robot spider chassis is designed to be used with our SG90 9g micro servo (HCROBO0005). Each leg supports a total of 3 servos which allows the legs a full 18 degrees of freedom meaning the completed robot will be able to walk, crab, turn and even climb over small obstacles. The kit comes supplied with a total of 25 black acrylic plastic parts and fixing screws.
Kit includes the following items:
Above picture shows acrylic perspex parts with protective brown coating. Actual colour or parts is black. The protective coating should be pealed off before construction.

- Uses high performance 9g servo (not included)
- Supplied with cable tidy and fixing screws + servo mounting screws not normally supplied with kit.
- Size: 13.3(L)*20(W)*8.5(H)cm
Example: Hexapod with Arduino Uno (HCARDU0090) and V5 Sensor shield (HCARDU0009)
Example: Hexapod with Arduino Mega (HCARDU0092) and V2 Mega Shield (HCARDU0077)
Please note modifications & additional components may be required depending on hardware used. It is recommended that you check the ability of your controller and power supply to drive all the servos required for this kit.
FAQ:
Can I control this with an Arduino?
Yes it is possible to directly control this robot with most Arduino boards but we recommend using a Mega (HCARDU0092) as you will need 18 digital pins to individually control all the servos. Also see our V2 Mega shield (HCARDU0077) for convenient connection and powering of the servos. You will also be able to use the existing software servo library available on the official Arduino website with the Mega to control all 18 servos.
