🚀 This is where it all started. See how this robot evolved into the fully refined
Hexapod Mochi — 3 generations of iteration, smarter design, and better performance:
Read the Hexapod Evolution Story →

This is the first generation hexapod — an agile, 3D-printed robot built with ESP32
and Arduino that laid the foundation for everything that came after. It features:

  • A robust, durable structure
  • WiFi-enabled remote control
  • Smooth, agile movement
  • Over-the-air (OTA) firmware updates for easy maintenance

⚠️ Heads up: MG90S servos frequently fail due to inherent weaknesses and quality
inconsistencies. If you're starting a new build, we strongly recommend jumping straight
to Hexapod Mochi — the latest generation
with a redesigned chassis, MG92B servos, and all lessons learned built in.
