Overview

A Croatian education hexapod built around a curriculum in which students assemble it, model parts in 3D, write a phone app and program gaits. It began as a 2015 Indiegogo kit and evolved into the centerpiece of STEMI's school program, with a plexiglass body and a custom PCB designed for assembly by young students. Mainly sold to schools rather than individuals.
