About
EZ-Robot introduced Six as a hexapod robot kit aimed at education and experimentation. The platform used six legs and 12 joints, and it was designed to be assembled and programmed for classroom or hobby use. Its feature set included a camera and support for behaviors such as object tracking, speech recognition, AI, and machine learning.
Six appeared during EZ-Robot's push to make robotics more accessible through modular kits and graphical programming tools. It fit into the company's broader lineup of configurable robots for STEM learning, where users could build hardware skills and then extend the system with software-driven behaviors. The model is known as a documented product in EZ-Robot's catalog, but I do not have a reliable discontinuation date.
