Lynxmotion parts on a Dell commercial?

So I was watching the new episode of “How the Universe Works” tonight while working on my Beaglebone black robot and saw an interesting spot on a Dell commercial. It was the commercial where the dad opened the door to show his daughter working on something at her desk and then it moved straight to the dell laptop they were advertising. Later on, it shows the daughter again but this time with a small robot and a drone that she supposedly built and programmed using their new laptop. Anywho, I was interested in the robot and the parts, trying to get a look to see what it was built with which was the reason this post is made. The robot was using the hexapod chassis, aluminum poles and a few other “nick-nacks” that looks exactly like Lynxmotion parts! It also looked like they might have used some parts from Servo City & their Actobotics line. I thought it was interesting.

Has anyone else seen the commercial yet?

Can you find the video online and provide a link here? Can’t seem to find anything on YouTube or Dell’s website.

I believe I found the video; here is the URL:

It’s hard to tell but looks really similar to the quadruped kit.


It looks to be an SQ3 quadruped walking kit, parts of two AL5 arms (or something) and a custom head and torso.

The weight of the torso and head would have likely been too much for the base which is why it’s not walking.
The drone which takes off is a Crazy2Fly.

Thanks for sharing!
