## What it is
An open-source project providing 3D-printable STL files, wiring diagrams, and build instructions for constructing a hexapod (six-legged) robot. It includes community parts lists and firmware guidance for servo controller boards like the Pimoroni Servo2040.

## Use cases
- build a 3D printed hexapod robot
- find STL files for a six-legged robot
- hexapod wiring diagram for servo controller
- DIY walking robot project
- parts list for building a hexapod
- flash firmware to Servo2040 for hexapod

## When to choose
- you want to physically build a 3D-printed hexapod robot from scratch
- you need proven STL parts, wiring diagrams, and community support for a walking robot
- you are a hobbyist following step-by-step build videos

## When to avoid
- you need robot simulation or control software rather than hardware build files
- you want a ready-made commercial robot kit
- you need a quadruped, biped, or wheeled robot design

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: robotics, simulation, developer-tools
- domain: robotics, hardware, tutorials
- platform: embedded, iot, cross-platform
- tags: hexapod-robot, 3d-printing, stl-files, diy-robotics, servo-controller, raspberry-pi-pico, open-source-hardware
