Meet ZeGoBeasts: electric wooden walking robots designed to teach you robotics and programming. It comes with a flat-pack bundle of wood, hardware, and electronics that you can build and program yourself. You get an Arduino core, various sensors, and other add-ons to choose from. ZeGoBeast’s movement is inspired by Theo Jansen’s designs.
ZeGoBeasts seem fun to build and program. You can find out more on Kickstarter.
