Lynxmotion A-ポッドヘキサポッドロボットキット（電子機器なし）

I really like kit. It is not so easy to assemble and the documentation is outdated. There are some forum posts giving tips but are sometimes contradicting. But this is exactly why it is so fun and rewarding to assemble the kit, figure out the best way to orient the components and lay the wires, and see the robot eventually walk. It is not a beginner kit. You need some soldering and basic mechanical skills. The example code is incomplete and is missing logic to control the head, mandibles and tail. so c++ skills are required, too. The BotBoarduino and SSC-32U Servo controller fit nicely into the kit and are relative easy to understand. One of the downside is the wire mess you get with the 25 servos. If doing again, I would probably go with some smart servos that are daisy-chainable and can report back status information (like the FEETech Smart Servo https://www.robotshop.com/en/ft-scservo-smart-servo-motor.html) - but then you can't use the SSC-32U controller and need to hack your own.

Easy assembly, works very well with Phoenix code. You must add a code to operate the clamps, the head and the abdomen. By adding command lines from the SSc32u record, a little research on the Net and the will we get there. But it's really AWESOME to see him walk and move.

The kit build went mostly well, however, I found that the feet (which are designed to be able to (optionally) detect the floor with contact switches, were not built to good enough tolerances to be functional in my specific kit.
