This high-performance platform offers a sturdy \u003cstrong\u003e6-legged bionic robot frame\u003c\/strong\u003e made from \u003cstrong\u003e3 mm hard aluminium alloy\u003c\/strong\u003e, delivering strength, lightweight handling, and a clean finish — perfect for \u003cstrong\u003erobotics in STEM\u003c\/strong\u003e education or hobby use. Each leg features \u003cstrong\u003e3 servo mounting positions\u003c\/strong\u003e, giving a total of \u003cstrong\u003e18 Degrees of Freedom (18DOF)\u003c\/strong\u003e. This structure supports realistic crawling and walking motions, closely mimicking spiders or other six-legged creatures. When fully assembled with servos and electronics, the robot spans ~60 cm and weighs around 3 kg. This is strictly a structural DIY kit — servos, controller and power supply are not included — giving you full control to select components tailored to your needs. As a result, this hexapod kit becomes one of the most versatile and modular \u003cstrong\u003ecool robot kits\u003c\/strong\u003e available, ideal for experimentation and custom robotics builds.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product_info\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"sing--sub-heading\"\u003ePower Supply Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThis six-legged bionic spider requires \u003cstrong\u003e18 servo motors working together\u003c\/strong\u003e.
