Might squeeze one of these into a cube, might have to chop the head off though !!!!
Could use the electronics in a different robot, and have movement controlled weapons maybe????
Would be a fun experiment, for sure!!!! :D

I have had one for a few years but I can't get it to fold down enough to fit the cube and I think it's a little over weight.

Hi Harry. How are you?
Whats your favorite colour?
I wonder if the control mechanism could be transferred into something else?
Mine is red.

Wow, Peter, that is really nice. Is programming it easy? Do you have a tethered controller?
I'll bet it frightens all your ants!! :)

After the inital enthusiasm of converting it to Lithiums and putting the batteries in the feet to make it more stable I haven't done much with it in the 5 years I have owned it.
As standard you can squirt sequencies into it and then it runs unteathered but people do tend to convert them to wirless operation.

I always fancied a hexapod. So far this one is my favorite...

I love the invertability, and the speed of those servos. Bloomin expensive for the fast servos though!!
