PhantomX Hexapod Climbing Stairs? Posted: 29 Oct 2014 08:14 AM PDT When we take one of our PhantomX Hexapods out for a walk, we almost always get the question ‘Can it go up stairs?’. Our normal response is ‘Nope!’. But it looks like Youtube user AndrewHumphries is working on that problem! Check out this video of the Hexapod climbing stairs. The hexapod doesn’t move very quickly and needs a helping hand at the end, but it’s always fun to see what tasks our robots are up to. You can see more videos of AndrewHumphries’s Hexapod in action here
