Hexabot: Build a heavy duty six-legged robot!

Step 1 CAD Model

Using SolidWorks, I created a CAD model of the robot so I could position components easily and determine the location of holes for the bolts that connect the legs and linkages of the robot to the frame. I didn't model the bolts themselves to save time. The frame is made from 1" x 1" and 2" x 1" steel tubing.

A folder of part, assembly, and drawing files for the robot can be downloaded below. You'll need SolidWorks to open the various files. There are some .pdf drawings in the folder as well, and these are also available to download in subsequent steps of this report.

SolidWorks is a great program especially when it comes to assemblies All the mates work together (unlike Inventor) which I why I use SW all the time Cool Instructable
