Hi there,
My name is Mike. I’m studying Mecharonical Engineering at my university and i’m thinking about getting a hexapod to learn some basics of animatronics.
I’ve google-searched most of the shops out there but still couldn’t decide which one should I get.
As a student my budget is really tight so Lymxmotion’s products maybe out of my reach. Let alone trossen robotics’s PhantomX series.
Ideally I want a hexpaod that’s in the range of $300 to $500(servos included), has robust mechanical parts and servos, and easy to program.
I’ve found some Chinese sellers in Aliexpress but they never reply my emails.
ebay.com/itm/Alum-Alloy-Hexa … 1078203779
This one is amazingly cheap (hardware only)and it seems too good to be true, I was wondering if anyone here ever purchase from this seller?
Another option is robofac.com/shop/hexapod/deep-in … xapod-kit/ . They have this complete hexapod kit about $500. I saw the picture of this kit coming up in someone’s twitter post so I went ahead and checked it.
They have some nice pictures there but still I was unsure about how trustworthy the seller is. Anyone here ever purchased from robofac?
I’m totally new to this community. I hope I did not break any rules by posting the seller’s link. Let me know if I did anything inappropriate.
Cheers.
