I am new to building hexapods but I would like to build one. What is a good microcontroller to use with a hexapod? I have some experience building quadcopters(4 motored rc helicopter). I don’t know if that experience could help me though. Any tips on how to build a hexapod are appreciated. 
Thanks
Hi there @Branna!
It’s awesome that you want to build a hexapod, they seem to be on trend right now haha 
I think this lesson could help you out, and in case this is your first time building a robot you might want to check out the other lessons of the tutorial.
There are lots of different microcontrollers out there, the most popular are the Arduino ones because they’re easy to use and there are lots of resources on the internet. I think a good option would be the BotBoarduino. Another great option could be a Raspberry Pi, which is not a microcontroller but a computer board so it offers more processing power. You can checkout the differences between these two here.
Also, I suggest you take a look at the Robots section, you will find different hexapod robots there and maybe you could share yours too 
I hope that information can help you, good luck with your project
