To make this robot move, we just need the control software and the following components:
1.6 Legs 18 DOF Robot Black Spider Robot 18pcs SG90 Servo Motor
2.32 Channels Servo Motor Controller Robot Contorller Servo Driver
3.7.4V power supply
Notes:
1.The controller 3509 can connect with 32 pcs servo motors, connect the pin "+" with the red wire of the servo motor, the pin "-" with the orange wire of the servo motor, connect the pin "S" with the yellow wire of the servo motor.
2.You can also other controller like Arduino, but we have not prepared the related material right now. And you can use the joystick when you use the control 3509, but you need to order it yourselves.
3.You can control the robot via USB wire with the help of the controller 3509 and it's control software. But if you use other controller, you have to try another way to control the robot, we do not have related material for other controller riht now.

3. Installation Step
About a week ago I followed the link above to see how much this hexapod cost but it appeared the hexapod was no longer available from ICStation.
It turns out the hexapod is available but it is now sold with the servos. Here's a link:
http://www.icstation.com/a1506-legs-robot-black-spider-robot-18pcs-sg90-servo-motor-p-5378.html
The current sale price of $61.32 comes comes out to be just $4.44 more than purchasing 18 of their 9g servos.

I wonder how well this hex works. I have a hex about this size but the joints where the legs connect to the body have a second pivot point below the servo.
It would be interesting to see a video of this hex in action.
I'm very tempted to get one of these. It looks like it could be a lot of fun for a pretty good price.
