Hexapod Explorer - the mechanical spiderbot from UGEARS Your cat will love/hate us for this! Are you ready for the coolest crawler on the model market? Introducing the Ugears Hexapod Explorer: part insect, part robot, part extraterrestrial exploration vehicle. With the help of a powerful spring drive, the Hexapod-Explorer can travelup to 3 meters on its own feet without the need for an auxiliary or support wheel like other models. The ability to carry its own weight on its legs alone allows the Hexapod-Explorer to move over slightly uneven terrain, just like a rover stepping out of a spaceship on another planet to explore new worlds. Another amazing feature that makes the Hexapod Explorer so unique is its speed controller. You can make your Robobug creep, crawl or wriggle at the speed you want! When the Hexapod stops, lift it up and watch its legs come alive and kick around, just like real insects, crabs or spiders. This is the stuff of nightmares, or the dream of a mechanics-loving model builder, depending on your perspective!

The Hexapod-Explorer wooden kit consists of 388 individual parts and has a powerful metal spring as a drive for the robot's walking movement as well as rubber band foot pads for better grip on smooth surfaces. It is a DIY model with a medium level of difficulty and takesabout 8 hours to assemble . The spring inside is wound with a key located on the underside. Thanks to its locking mechanism, you do not need to hold the key when winding to avoid losses - the potential energy is stored with every turn, without losses, until the spring is fully tensioned. The Hexapod-Explorer can move on uneven surfaces and even overcome obstacles of 1-2 cm. Crank the model, place it on the surface and select the desired speed using the speed controller on the head of the Hexapod. Then unlock the "Walk" switch on the back to set the model in motion. You can change the speed at any time, both halfway and on the next lap
