Check Out The Biggest Project Yet – A Giant Mechanical Hexapod Spider

James Hobson of The Hacksmith attempted to build a giant mechanical spider called “the world’s largest rideable hexapod”. It was his passion project and started out as three-month build but eventually took a year and a half of failures, breakdowns, and rewrites.

His inspiration came from a video of a Princess Auto excavator which was capable of orienting itself by using the bucket to stand up and maneuver.

But this project was too ambitious from the start. Unfortunately, it was too big to function correctly, but definitely a great attempt to bring fantasy to reality.
