AH-3 from Lynxmotion with the SSC-32 servo controler and Atom pro

Just a short video of my hexapod robot (all right legs) that I had just finished building from the Lynxmotion "kit" that night. Here I'm using the code downloaded from the free Lynxmotion PowerPod software.

You do realize you built all right legs, not 3 right and 3 left, like the instructions show? That's why it's not walking right. ;)

Oops... oh well... er I mean I built a EH3-R for ServoPod ! :) Anyhow, you guys are great. Thanks for building such great kits. :)

Hey Nou Nou Thanks! Long time no see, I'll have to show it to you sometime. See ya!

cool. what is front and back on this thing?

[vanmunch36]

Hey transistorbaluba, Thanks for the complement. There isn't a real front and back. That makes it easy to instantly change directions without having to turn around.

I have seen other hexapod robots and this seams to walk better and faster, more like an insect, and not a robot. Which is a good thing in my opinion!

Have You ever thought about putting something like, caster wheels on a couple of its feet, so when its on flat surfaces, You can use the other feet to propel it. almost like a skateboard.

Even better but more sophisticated, I think using linear actuators to pop the wheels up and down on command. Would be really cool.

Thanks for sharing!
