Hex is a six legged OpenSource Hexapod designed to serve as a moving platform for you to tinker with and build on top of!
The current Hexapod release is Hex3. Check out our Hex3 project on Printables! Hex4 is currently under development, with a target release date in mid- to late- 2027.
Like Tony Stark and his suits, we are continually expanding on the capabilities of the Hexapod platform. Unlike Tony Stark, we hope not to need 85+ different iterations.
If you want to build your own or join the community, check out our Hex Discord.
