Ugears Hexapod Explorer

Ugears Hexapod Explorer: kit has 388 pieces and features a strong metal spring that powers the robot’s walking action, and rubber band foot pads for better traction on smooth surfaces. This DIY model is rated Medium level with an assembly time of approximately 8 hours. The internal spring is wound with a ratchet key located on the belly. With a ratchet mechanism, you don’t have to hold the key while winding to prevent slippage-potential energy is stored with each twist, without slippage, until the spring is fully loaded.

The Hexapod Explorer can traverse rough surfaces and even step over obstacles of 1-2 cm. Crank the model up, set it down, choose the desired speed using the dial on the Hexapod’s head, then release the “go” switch at the rear to set the model in motion. You can change speeds at any time, either mid-run or on the next go.

Creepy cool: The UGEARS Hexapod Explorer wooden puzzle kit is a part insect, part robot, and part extra-terrestrial rover. This striking 3D puzzle construction is beautifully designed for lifelike movement.

Pure mechanics: Our model building kits rely solely on mechanics. This wooden insect model works without any electronic components. Once assembled, the insect puzzle is powered by a metal spring.

Versatile gait: The Hexapod Explorer can walk up to 10 feet on its own legs without any support. Also, you can make your wooden robot puzzle toy creep, crawl, or skitter at any speed you want
