Hello, your A-Pod is impressive, fluid and has a nice style ^^.
I want to make an hexapod and yours attracted my attention because of his slim profile ( I suppose you putted the battery in the abdomen ).
I want to programme it, but I'm not that good to design robots so if you accept to send me some information about it ( like plan of the iron/plastic infrastructure and some indication/help/tricks for PCBs and power regulation part ).
And further more what power of motors my I take at minimum ? ( I was looking for 80N-cm, is it enough ? )
Thanks in advance ^^ ( and sorry, english's not my mother language so maybe have I wrongly chosen my words )
I don't understand you Zenta. You talk this is your hobby. You can easily sell this robot. I'm sure you'll have a candidate buyers.
Answer me one question:
Once you say this is your hobby and you have no interest in selling your robots – Why then you advertise in various TV?! What is your goal?! Are you a small man with an inferiority complex?!
I think – you're very talented and slightly silly man. It is a pity – because someone less talented but a bit more clever Chinese will steal your creation, will make it by paper, will packaged in a cheap box and will sell it to your little cousin for 5 euros.
1. You’ll never be able to make an A-pod style robot for 5 euros, if so it would be just some cheap plastic crap from china.
2. This is my hobby. Period .
3. I’ve never advertised anything on TV, they simply asked me if they could make a short interview.
4. The success of A-Pod isn’t entirely my credit, I couldn’t do it without the work from Jeroen Janssen and Kurt Eckhardt. After all A-Pod isn’t anything more than a hexapod with a head and a tail.
5. My goal? To have fun! And I’m having fun too.
Just a question about your coxa/femur brackets used on the A-Pod, I understand these are most likely your custom design, but do you know of a company that sells something similar? I'm custom fabricating everything else, these are something I would rather buy but I haven't found anything yet. What setup did you use to machine them?
Hello Zenta,
This is the best implemented hexapod I've seen so far. My compliments, I'm really taking my hat off to you.
But let me introduce myself. I'm a student at the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences (HAW Hamburg), studying mechatronics for four semesters by now. We, a fellow student and I, have got an exercise to create a presentation about hexapods and their current stage of development.
Part of the exercise is to show and present a real working hexapod. Our professor instructed us to somehow borrow one somewhere instead of building one by ourselves as that would take too much time and effort that might otherwise be used to create a better presentation (that's got a higher priority, at least in that field).
Well, to cut a long story short: do you think there is a way for us to borrow an (or the) A-Pod for some days, of course protected by some sort of contract in written form, an insurance and in a completely official manner? I think it should be even possible to make this covenant as official as a usual item on loan to a university and hence lead many more interested students to your projects. A huge advantage for you, I'll say.
If you think that might be possible, somehow or other, please contact us via e-mail (and please also do so if not).
Thanks a lot!
Sincerely yours,
Hendrik Wiese, prospective bachelor of science mechatronics, HAW Hamburg, Germany
Need info on your a-pod. Do you normally sell this?
I’ll post info about A-Pod later when I got time. This is just a hobby of mine, so I don’t sell anything, sorry.

Very nice indeed! Which servo motors are you using?
