Review on Freenove Hexapod Robot Kit for Raspberry Pi 4 B 3 B+ B A+: Walking, Balancing, Live Video, Face Recognition by Blake Larson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Fantastic Maker Project - Walking Spider PC

Pro's - Very valuable and educational project. Everything worked great except for the camera. It was slow with Pi 3, but worked a bit better with 4. The software is very well written and internally documented. It would be very interesting to continue development by adding more behaviors. I use it as a second computer because how many people have a running computer with a freaky cool head and body movements. Cons - Read and follow instructions. Take your time, it will take time, so enjoy the process. I found the screws holding the servo screws to be a bit short, they work but I had a hard time tightening two, luckily I had a few longer ones and the shafts were deep enough to work well. My camera didn't work but I think it's up to me to fix it.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Annoying
