Dirt Cheap Hexapod robot — Part 1 Mechanical Build
HowToMakeARobot.us is proud to present the following free blueprints and robot plans to make a very cool dirt cheap hexapod robot. We designed this hexapod robot to be as cheap and simple as possible. There are only two parts to be made besides the 18 RC servo motors and the microcontrollers plus sensors. With three RC servo motors per leg, if you build this robot, you’ll have a 18 DOF robot for under 100 dollars!! I’ve seen similar hexapod robots using slightly larger R.C. servos selling for $399 dollars, so this robot is a bargain to build.
Here are the blueprints for the two parts:
