Crawl-e

This 6-Legged Marvel Moves Like Nothing Else

Six legs. Eighteen motors. One extraordinary machine.

Crawl-e is not just a robot — it is a 6-legged, 18-motor hexapod that mimics the movement of living creatures. Each leg has 3 degrees of freedom, giving Crawl-e the agility to walk, turn, and navigate with a fluidity that students find immediately captivating.

Under the dome, a powerful 32-bit dual processor drives every movement. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity keep it wirelessly responsive. A 4-metre ultrasonic sensor lets it detect its environment. A 3W speaker adds feedback and personality. An aluminium chassis makes it sturdy enough for real-world use.

And through the Plode app — available on iOS, Android, and desktop — students don’t just control it. They programme it.

Learn While You Play, Using The Plode App

Plode is the coding platform that turns Crawl-e into a full learning experience. Students write real code, test it on real hardware, and see results in real time.

With Plode, students can:

• Programme Crawl-e’s movement patterns and gait sequences
• Integrate the ultrasonic sensor for obstacle detection
• Use the speaker for audio feedback and interactions
• Explore AI and IoT projects as skills advance
• Build and expand using Technic Building Block compatibility

Available on iOS, Android, and desktop — Plode meets students wherever they learn.
