I haven’t started my list of New Year resolutions yet, but I’m pretty sure learning to fly a drone quadcopter is going to make the top 10. But after seeing Mad Lab Industries’ exceptionally cool hexapod hexacopter maybe it makes more sense to walk before I fly. Says Mad Labs:
So, we have been tossing around the idea for a while now of trying to get a Quadcopter to mate with a Hexapod and produce us a mechanical offspring that could walk and fly. So when we came across the opportunity to get a PhantomX Hexapod kit from our friends over at Trossen Robotics we jumped at the chance.
Given the complexity of this project I’ll probably file this one under aspirational, but the walking/flying robotic crab-like creature is a wonder to behold. Check this thing out:
