I used a marker to draw out what I was going to cut. Next, go to town on the cover with a Dremel, removing all the excess plastic. Desolder or cut them away from the board. The wires to the motors are attached to a small PCB, which you can see once you’ve opened it up. It takes a single screw to remove the lid, to get to the batteries and then another 3 to remove the top of the robot. Direction is changed by rotating the main body, using a second motor, which changes the disposition of the legs, changing the direction in which the entire robot moves.

All the 6 legs are powered with a single motors. These Battle Spiders are mechanically really interesting. Ever since I saw these HEXBUG Battle Spiders, I’ve wanted to tear them apart and supply them with a more capable brain. HEXBUG Battle Spider is compliant with CPSIA standards.This is a project I’ve had on the shelf for quite some time (2 years or so), and only just now finished up. The two-channel remote enables the user to operate multiple spiders independently or at the same time. Each Battle Spider features a two-channel infrared remote control.

The six-legged spider features 360 degree steering and an LED forward eye, allowing you to maneuver it around objects and control precisely where it scurries as it battles against its opponent. After 10 times of being hit the Battle Spider shuts down and a lifelike heartbeat light will rapidly flash leaving the lone champion standing!Ī unique, battle-hardened deco and hi-tech life-sensor that measures each hit adds to ultimate battle experience. When hit the Battle Spider will be stunned for one second. With scurrying legs and sensory capabilities, you’ll swear these robots were real they even recoil and react with every impact shot!īattle Spiders have a 1 meter fire range and are able to fire once per second or continually until hit. Damage detectors measure each hit, ensuring every match ends with only one bot standing. High-tech infrared technology allows the Battle Spiders to actually “fire”. Watch as sci-fi comes to life in front of your eyes! Each spider has a remote control, and comes fueled with futuristic voice and sound effects.
