Overview

One of the most complete off-the-shelf hobby hexapods, an 18-servo metal-and-fiberglass spider with a Raspberry Pi brain, camera and documented Python code for gaits, color tracking and face detection. The Pro variant adds a 5-DOF arm with a gripper for pick-and-place demos, at the cost of runtime (about 40 min vs. about 120 min on the base model). Bus servos with position feedback make it more capable than PWM-servo kits.
