This is my latest robot named Octobot. It was designed entirely with CAD (Solidworks). Most of the parts were 3D printed. The 8 legged spider robot is controlled by a smartphone using Bluetooth LE. The control board is the Romeo BLE bluetooth and motor controller board from DF Robot. The robot uses only 2 geared DC motors. Each motor drives a set of 4 legs on each side. Will be adding some other sensors and using this robot to experiment with spider AI.
