Hexapod Stabilized Posted: 27 Mar 2015 07:00 AM PDT Check out user Gezac’s PhantomX Hexapod with stabilization! By modifying the PhantomX AX Hexapod, Gezac has added stabilization that maintains the roll and pitch of the hexapod’s body, even when in motion. The walking gait on this robot is pretty amazing, too. Even with the pitch rolled all the way back, the hexapod moves with an incredibly natural, smooth action. This is a great demonstration of what you can do with one of Trossen Robotics Quadruped & Hexapod Robot Kits!
