HexaPi

Project for creating a hexapod robot. I don’t know exactly how many function it will have and how far I’ll go with it. But for the moment it’s cheap and a easy to build development platform.

  1. Hi!

    I very much like your Hexapod Design. I see you generate the parts using python. Would it be ok for you, if I clone this design using OpenSCAD? It is my preferred modelling language. If that was ok for you, I would also open-source my OpenSCAD clone and reference you as the original author.

    1. Yes you can, I did this project to be open and free. Feel free to keep me in touch with your updates.
