Review: High quality kit with clear instructions - Very clear instructions, easy to assemble, works perfectly! I couldn't be happier. As expected there are many small screws and the wires are a bit messy, but that will be the case with any hexapod. The software that comes along with it is very nice, installation/calibration/control are all very user friendly. As another reviewer suggested, I went with batteries/charger from Nitecore's website (2x NITECORE IMR 14500 Battery 650mAh 3.7V - Rechargeable, 1x NiteCore NEW Intellicharger i2 2016 2-Channel Charger). Unfortunately I couldn't find something equivalent on desertcart prime so I had to wait a few days, but it was worth it! I ended up containing all of the wires by taping the extra portions of wire (which there was a lot of, only the 3rd servo on each leg actually needs a bit of slack) into a small bunch with electrical tape, and then carefully lodging it somewhere in the body. It worked pretty well, just be careful that you are not obstructing the range of motion of any of the servos.
Review: Nice little kit - This is a nice kit and I highly recommend it. First the limitations. Hey! It's small. It's all plastic and small weak servos. They did a good job with the kit design and the assembled robot worked very well for me on smooth flat surfaces. This robot is not for walking on tile, inclines or anything that will stress the joints or servos because this won't take much nor carry much. However the kit looks impressive assembled and the directions are decent. Everyone who I show it to is impressed with the kit and the motion of the legs, the way it walks, shifts and dances. Scared my landlord though but she hates spiders and kept calling it a giant spider. She actually screamed when it powered on and the servos zipped the robot in a standing position. (Poor sweet woman!) I made a video of the calibration on a glass table top so it made a funky scraping noise with the plastic feet described as erry. Hey! Most people were so impressed and said they can't believe I made that. (Huh? What is that supposed to mean? Am I not smart enough?) Seriously though the directions are a little confusing at times and describe sections very well but assume you know (or leave it up to you to search for some of the arduino stuff.) Those 144 little screws that hold every joint together are not your friends! I recommend laying back in a chair with a baggy shirt and force those little self-threading annoying tiny screws in there. They are so small and impossible to find if dropped to the floor hence forth the baggy shirt to catch them when you will drop them. There are allot of small screws in the kit. Thankfully there are a few extras of each. The instructions weren't very good on the calibration but by the time you get to that point you pretty much know what needs to be done. Fortunately the design of the kit is very forgiving. The legs of my kit aren't completely at 90 degrees but I was able to the angles close enough in the "X" pattern. My robot walks fast and looks great when it is walking and moving around. No one notices it is not exactly 90 degree perfect but I know. ;-P Ok so I could unthread the screws and reline it up but after all it is plastic. I am happy with the way my hexapod went together and how it looks and acts. I plan on purchasing at least one or two more of these hexapod kits to possibly make a "how to" tutorial video to cover the places where the instructions could have given more detail, how to program it, control it with controller and android device, etc... What is great about the kit is they have everything you need to get started on git including all the calibration software environment. The next step is limited on your creativity and programming skills. I have some other concepts for the kit as well including fpv and inductive charging from a pad the hexapod can just go stand on to charge. I think this kit is very reasonably priced. It comes with 18 servos, an arduino with servo controller and all the pieces and everything cleanly cut. I recommend this kit for anyone ages 8 to 60 years in age however an 8 year old and a 60 year old will both say allot of nasty expletives trying to put in those 144 tiny screws. They are NOT your friend... HA!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can sensors be added to allow it to follow a line?**
A: Dear customer,
Thank you for your question.
Yes, there are some extension ports.
If you have any difficulties, please feel free to contact us.
Sincerely,
Freenove Support Team

**Q: can a pixy2 camera be added to give this robot vision?**
A: Dear customer,
The pixy2 camera can be added through the i2c interface, but the image transmission is best not through the existing communication method of the robot.
It is easy to interfere and is more difficult.
So the better solution is pixy2 camera+ a controller with wireless transmission function.
Or add a wireless wifi camera directly , which has a separate system and app.

**Q: Can it jump? can you add poison injectors? i'm coming for you tom selleck!!!**
A: Dear customer,
Sorry. It cannot jumper. You can find a youtube link on the page to check its features.
Yes you can add some parts. But it cannot support too large load.
If you have any concerns, please feel free to contact us.
Stay safe. Have a nice day.
Sincerely,
Freenove Support Team

**Q: I am considering buying this product but cannot be sure what batteries to purchase with it. What battery should I buy, can you plz provide a link?**
A: I ordered a set of Nitecore IMR14500 650 mAh Li-ion rechargeable batteries (https://www.nitecorestore.com/Nitecore-14500-650mAh-Battery-p/bat-imr14500-nite-ni14500a.htm ).  These are "for high drain devices," with a discharge current of up to 6.5 A, and do not have internal protection, so you must exercise caution when using them. ( Nitecore makes a protected version that is sold on Amazon, but it does not deliver sufficient current to operate the hexapod.)  I also ordered from Nitecore a recharger for Li-ion batteries designed to protect them during recharging.

Discharging Li-ion batteries beyond a certain point renders them unrechargable.  To protect against this, the hexapod's circuitry monitors the battery voltage and shuts off battery power when the voltage drops below 5.5V.

The hexapod requires two batteries; I ordered extras so that I could recharge one set while using the other.

### ⭐ Do Not Buy
*by A***R on January 1, 2022*

Seemed like a great kit to build with grand kids. After hours of fighting with the software downloads, finally gave up and trashed. Hours of calibrating makes it completely impractical. Do not buy!
