The Lynxmotion Johnny 5 Robot Kit is a very cool and completely functional model of the ever popular movie robot. The robot is designed for indoor or outdoor use and performs well on many different surfaces. This kit is built almost entirely from the Servo Erector Set, allowing almost limitless expansion possibilities. High payload capacity and plenty of space for add-ons allows a builder to use this platform as an excellent starting point to creating an advanced robot to fit their needs.
Note, batteries and "eyes" are not included.

The Mechanics
The robot is made from Servo Erector Set aluminum brackets, custom injection molded components, and ultra-tough laser-cut Lexan structural components. The torso is fully articulated utilizing 8 x HS-645MG, 3 x HS-475HB, and 3 x HS-422 servos, and the SSC-32 servo controller. By utilizing heavy duty polypropylene and rubber tracks with durable ABS molded sprockets the robot has excellent traction. It includes two 12vdc 50:1 gear head motors and the Sabertooth 2 x 5 motor controller.

Controlling the Robot
The combo kit includes the powerful Lynxmotion Sequencer Program for PC. You can control the robot from a PC with the included DB9 cable, or use a SparkFun bluetooth modem for wireless PC control.
