I built a Vorpal Hexapod for 2026!

[Christen Lofland]

I was looking for a fun project to build and expand on that was buildable with off-the-shelf and 3D printed parts and this seemed perfect!

I made some notes along the way that I hope might be helpful to modern builders:

I also made a video of my finished work in case someone wants to see it in action:

I really enjoyed building this and showing it off. I hope to finish up the bits that I skipped (speaker, accessories, SD card reader) as well as expand on the platform myself.

I also hope to try building some of the "giant" versions.
