Overview
The cheapest 12-DOF ESP32 dog found, with the same kind of controller as MechDog but three servos per leg, at well under half the price. The ESP32 board has its own camera, so it streams video to the Freenove app without a Raspberry Pi. It comes as a kit to assemble, and the batteries are bought separately. Firmware, code and tutorials are published on GitHub.
