  • Robot supports forward, reverse and in place turning
  • Compatible with FlowBotics Studio (Download)

The Lynxmotion Mini-Hex Hexapod Kit MH2F (FlowBotics Studio) is a versatile 12DoF hexapod walking robot. The kit includes a full version of FlowBotics Studio and includes the SSC-32 as well as a serial to Bluetooth board and Bluetooth module which allows for remote control from the computer. This approach offloads the higher level calculations to the computer. FlowBotics Studio includes a demo project for the MH2 with pre-written walking algorithms. The hexapod robot is designed around a simple mechanical leg design with all metal brackets. This leg design minimizes the number of parts required to make a two DOF (degree of freedom) leg and allows this robot to be steered like a tank. Forward, reverse and in place turning is supported. The robot uses standard sized Hitec servos for the legs. The combo kit includes everything you need to make a functional robot except batteries and optional PS2 controller.

The Mechanics
The body of the hexapod is made from ultra-tough laser-cut PVC structural components while the legs are made from high-quality aluminum Servo Erector Set brackets. The kit includes 12 servos; six HS-422 and six 645MG. The hexapod is able to adjust its height, walk forward and in reverse, as well as rotate clockwise and counter-clockwise, tit forward and backward, left and right and more.
