We have not finished setting it up for sale. The 3DOF and the 4DOF T-Hex bots will be on the website for sale soon. We have completed the majority of the work. Hang in there a little longer.

Cool any idea on the pricing?

robotdude · January 18, 2011, 9:57pm

The pricing is a numeric value usually associated with a monetary system such as dollars or euros, but that’s not important right now…

Well thank you for clearing that up! I was like so confused.

any idea how soon… a ballpark estimate would do… my funds are subject to expiry, and need to decide if I would have to be content with what is available right now.

The pricing for the 3DOF T-Hex will be similar to the AH3-R with 645 servos. The pricing for the 4DOF T-Hex will be similar to the AH3-R plus 6 x 645 servos and a few additional brackets. Give or take several units of measure.

BTW you can make the T-Hex right now. You would have to review the assembly guides and tutorials to see what’s being used. But everything is available now. Just not as a one click purchase. James will provide the links.

As long as the T-Hex body kit is available there shouldn’t be problem to place an order.

This is perfect…

A question about the PS2 interface (wrong board?)… what is the simplest approach to programmatically control the T hex from a linux platform?.. has anybody done it yet?
