Hexy the Hexapod

[Ian Curtis]

One of my friends from High School spent the last couple of months working on a low cost open source hexapod, and recently did a Kickstarter for it. Much to his surprise it got funded in one day. :ahh:

Seeing as CD likes robots, I thought some people here might be interested.

(And for the record, I'm not involved in any way. I just think it's super cool.)

Very cool! Some of my buddies are working on a slightly larger hexapod: http://projecthexapod.com/blog/

The part that baffles me is that they offered to sponsor several Boston teams and no one took them up on it...

I knew your description was an understatement when I saw who was posting, but I was still only expecting something about as big as Curiosity. Looks cool.

In the immortal words of Will-I-Am: "That's Dope"

When do you expect to be done?
