  • The hex basically ...

    The hex basically has no brain, its more of a puppet than anything else. An Endurance R/C 25 Servo Controller controls the 18 Hitec 645MG servos. The 25 Servo Controller is connected to an off screen PC running an inverse kinematics engine; basically a program which allows for translation and rotation on 3 axis.

    The XBOX controller is tied into these translation and rotation functions and allows the user to control all the movements at once which creates the effect of complex movements.
