Walking Bug - Instructions

This VEX IQ build uses a clever linkage mechanism to move six legs with only two motors. It is a fun project to construct and a practical example of creating robot movement without wheels or treads.

Built with a single VEX IQ 2nd Generation Kit, the walking bug suits classes and clubs looking to explore linkages, gait patterns, and alternative forms of robotic locomotion.

Great For

• Investigating linkages and coordinated movement.
• Comparing wheels, legs, and other motion systems.
• Robotics club extension builds.
