The Make-A-Pede is a open source robotics platform. It is based on a segmented chassis design, giving the robot a centipede-like motion and allowing the robot to be easily expanded with more modules. All of the components are readily available, or can be made at your school or local makerspace. We’ve tried to make the robot versatile so that beginners and experienced users alike can learn and have fun with it.

The Make-A-Pede is designed to teach a wide range of subjects. While building the Make-A-Pede, users will develop skills in areas including mechanics, electronics, and programming. Our step-by-step instruction manual and tutorials make it easy for beginning users to learn everything they need to construct their own Make-A-Pede. For advanced users, the open-source design will provide many opportunities for expansion beyond the base design.
