Finished unit, not a kit

The robots above are assembled and tested by us, with the control board, firmware and the phone app or remote that drives them. Parts figures for the hexapod are given both unassembled and assembled. For a single unit, the development fee is the larger part of the price, see what NRE adds to each unit.

Not included

Certification testing (FCC/CE)
Done by a test lab and quoted separately. A robot sold in the US may also fall under the 2026 FCC rule on foreign-produced robots: see FCC rule on foreign-produced robots.
Shipping and import duties
Usually arranged by you once units leave the factory.
Changes outside the written scope
Re-quoted, with a new timeline, before work continues.
