Hello all, We are aware that since RobotShop acquired Lynxmotion, we have not been involving the general community much in the new product design process. We would like to get your insights / feedback as we do feel that the best products and designs should involve community / en…

A variety of hex 'bots is still good. Legs can be orientated differently (inline, or sprawled). Maybe more then one chassis. Body shape. I’ve built both oval and linear hexapods. Need to order a round chassis. An oval chassis or round chassis probably translates best. …

Question is, do you see advantages / disadvantages to certain designs… don’t like the way one or others look etc. Currently we have the AH3-R, Bh3-R and CH3-R which are all very similar (circular). The Phoenix, A-Pod and T-Hex bodies are also very similar (“oval”), as are the BH…

This is sort-of a hard one for me, as there are things I like about many of the different designs. To me, it is hard to say any is the BEST design, it depends on what you like and your goals. Are you after something that is highly modifiable or looks really cool. Do you want th…

Sorry for not responding entirely to this post (I’ll try to find some time to read the thread carefully), but as a very quick answer to a few questions: Body shape: Can we have a spheric body shape? like MorphEx xD Leg design: I was thinking about a concept to standardis…

A spherical hexapod? The MorphEx is more of a “Duodenipod”? Essentially that’s the philosophy of the SES modular system. You can see the only difference between the AH3-R, BH3-R and CH3-R are the legs: lynxmotion.com/c-3-hexapods.aspx Usually it will be the servos holding up…

One of the most aesthetic designs, but having the metal brackets being directly supported by the servo’s horn makes it more delicate that a two-sided support system. For a beginner, this approach is likely not the best, nor does it really take advantage of many modular brackets. …

No worries, they are warranted. This will come down to the electronic design, but should not really affect the Hexapod’s design / structure.

The only impact, in the design, is to make sure you have room for whichever size batteries you wish to fit. Likewise the choice of battery and chemistry may have influence on servos. i.e. are they tuned for 2S or 3S lipo batteries. If for 3S (3.7*3)=11.1, they probably can run…

How about using 3s or 4s batteries, and a BEC? This might be a better fit. they have 5v/6v BECs, maybe they have them for 7.4v also for other servos? And if you are considering LiPo batteries, I’d like to see the appropriate cabling made available, WITH charge leads and extend…
