The specifications.

Hardware, build and software on one sheet. Every fact links to where we found it.

Snapbot V2.0 is a reconfigurable legged robot made from a body and detachable leg modules. Its camera module can recognize the robot's configuration or see its surroundings. The repository provides STL files and a bill of materials for building the hardware, along with MATLAB Simscape models and a ROS package for operating the robot.

Can you sell it?

Check firstCheck before commercial use

No license was found for the design files, so no reuse rights are granted. Ask the maker before building anything to sell.
