I'm sorry but what song is this? The music is amazing.

[ahamedBacar]

hey do we can have the code source of your project ? What MCU do you use ?

did wireless camera send to normal TV

how many servos on this spiderrobotic

[drcaos]

@bestamerica Looks like it has 18

[bestamerica]

drcaos,

'

really 18 servos,,,

it is should be 20 servos,,,

18 servos with legs,,,

2 servos with a camera

[drcaos]

@bestamerica Totally agree my friend.

Amazing, it looks almost organic. Like some kind of alien creature observing its environment.

a sentence came to my minf when i saw this:

"what a good doggie you are!" lol

[kattejuice]

this is so cool!

where can i buy this?

please reply!

[sborges433]

From Micro Magic - a UK firm. But to have the toy shown here, in working order, it won't come cheap - over 500 sterling for a kit - over US$1000 - and, again, that's for a kit.

they got to make it faster, make it move more feet instead one at a time, and i wonder if its tracking can be improved because it definatly wouldn't pass the sobriety test if robots could get drunk...lol

[djemiko]

LOL i agree. can you imagine if that thing ran? XD

[adisharr]

@djemiko

It's more of 'when' it will run - usually right after they add the drill head so it can burrow into your skull because you spoke out against the machines.

[djemiko]

Now there's something to look forward too.. lol Now would probably be a good time to learn how to fly... X3

これは可愛いなｗ

The tracking looks close to organic. A little scary. Glue on some long antenna to the head and some light fur to the body and really freak people out.

another great vid. nice to the work on this expanding. well done matt.

[littlestworkshop]

Very neat and a great choice of music, goes well with its movements.

[Xanore]

As always great work Matt!!

[sparten1114]

are you going to open source the code?

great job looks real

[winchymatt]

This uses Roborealm for the BLOB tracking which can be downloaded free, If you take a look at the additional information, there is a link to the tutorial.

[Magnulus]

Looks fantastic!

Question on speed: Are there technical limitations that stop it from moving forward at higher speeds or are you limiting it for the purpose of showing the motions better?

[winchymatt]

Hi,

I have limited teh forward speed to stop the hexapod from overshooting and causing oscillation. However, the VB Script could be greatly improved, and yes I'm sure it could respond faster :) If you take a look at the additional information, there is a link to the tutorial.

[Magnulus]

Sadly, I don't understand robotics, I'm just a random, impressed passer-by. Just a fan, basically. ^_^ Fascinated by what you robot-people can do, I have to say. It's absolutely incredible, I think.

[ZentaOlbaid]

Excellent Matt!

Congratulations!
