There are several projects that get discussed in a hackerspace but never seem to get built. One such project is the custom built HEXAPOD. The latest YouTube video plays and visions of HEXAPODs dance in someone's head. The project is discussed and talk of laser cutters and cnc mills dominate the reasons why it hasn't been built. The Director of Legal Evil Emeritus, as he want to do, challenges the idea of laser cutters and cnc mills as a requirement for a custom HEXAPOD. A HEXPOD of OFFICE SUPPLIES is within the reach of anyone at the space. And to prove his point he begins the build.
Started Saturday at noon and completed Sunday at 7:30 pm, here is the build (Plenty of sleep, no all nighter).
Office Supplies
What qualifies as office supplies can be subjective, but nothing used here would stretch the definition.
Four Tongue Depressors (Doctors Office)
Two Popsicle Sticks (Who doesn't have a few laying around)
Two Binder Clips
Six Zip Ties
Six Pencil Erasers
Rubber Band
Super Glue (Gel)
One Small Yellow Rubber Band (not pictured)
Color Matching Office Supplies was just a bonus.
Electronics
Standard Hacker Supplies
Pro Mini Arduino 328P 5V
Five Header Pin Strips
Four CdS Cells
Four Resistors 56K
Battery Pack 4AA (not shown)
Different Color Header Pins was just handy.
Servos
Servos were needed.
Six MG90S Micro Servos
No color coordinating here.
Basic Frame
The frame will consist of the tongue depressors held together by the clips, rubber band and a little super glue at the junctures.
Servos On A Stick
This build requires two kinds of "servos on a stick" types.
Type 1
A total of two Type 1 are made.
Type 2
A single Type 1 is made.
