Ugears Hexapod Explorer

Ugears - Hexapod Explorer

Your cat or dog might end up hating us for this one – but the Hexapod Explorer is a seriously cool model kit that we think you should explore. The fact that its shape brings certain unloved creepy-crawlies to mind may also make it unpopular with some two-legged creatures.

The Hexapod Explorer wooden model kit has 388 parts and a strong metal spring that drives the robot's walking mechanism, plus rubber bands on the feet for better grip on smooth surfaces. Wind the model up and set it off. You can change speed at any time, either halfway through or next time.

Looking for a cool, creepy-crawly Halloween toy or decoration? Do you have a child, niece, nephew or neighbour who is into robotics?

Children and adults alike will love building the Hexapod Explorer and watching it come to life as it takes its first steps.

Building Ugears models is a great way to learn the basic principles of science and engineering, and to develop mechanical skills, learn to solve problems and learn to follow detailed, illustrated instructions.

The Ugears Hexapod Explorer is a unique gift idea for friends or family members who love nature, insects, robots, model building, DIY projects or puzzles, or for anyone who appreciates excellent mechanical and aesthetic design.

As always with Ugears, everything is in the box and no glue or extra tools are needed to build it. Just your dedicated time and a bit of dexterity.
