Hexapod

About

I want a hexapod robot. What else is there to say?

I already have preliminary scetches/plans/blueprints and a cost estimate (about 5000 kr or 700 USD). It will be awesome, or would be if I had the money and the time. Someday I will, muahahahahaha!

Also, since I lack the resources to really do this I plan to play around with ragdoll simulations. That way I might at least have some of the control routines done. Plus, it's fun and I have not done any ragdoll simulations before.

Another bonus for setting up a simulated environment is that I might be able to create the basic AI systems for the robot there. Hehe...

Inspiration

• Awesome, and somewhat creepy ant hexapod
• Antpod update - It walks!
• Well made and cute hexapod
• Impressively agile hexapod
• A tiny and fast hexapod

Materials

I've already experimented a bit with 3d printing, but now I've found someone that's actually made a working 3d-printed appendage. Interesting...
