Quarky Quadruped - Documentation

The Quarky Quadruped robot is a four-legged robot capable of traversing a variety of terrains and maintaining its stability while walking. This robot is inspired by spiders and uses 8 servo motors and 2 degrees of freedom in each leg assembly to create different motions and maintain passive stability. This robot is easy to build yet powerful in exploration and stability! With 15+ different activities, this kit will guide you through the basics of legged robotics. Experience the magic of Legged Robotics with this beginner-friendly kit.

Getting Started with Quarky Quadruped

Refer to the tutorials to learn about the Quadruped, and how to assemble and program it in block coding or Python coding.
