 The first option is the most convenient (and the most expensive, although the Vorpal Hexapod is still among the least expensive complete Hexapods on the market).

		+	==How Long Does it Take to Build?==
		+	Build time depends on the experience of the builder and which kit you use. The smaller numbers on each range below are for a person very familiar with building robotic projects, and the larger numbers are for relative beginners.
		+
		+	* If you buy one of our "QuickBuild" kits, the build time is 30 to 50 minutes. This is the fastest kit option because all the electronic connections are already made.
		+	* If you buy our "Bare Bones" kit, the build time is 1 to 2 hours. You need to make all the electrical connections yourself using jumper wires, but all the soldering is done, Arduino processors are flashed, BlueTooth modules are paired, etc., saving time over self-sourcing the parts.
		+	* If you do not use our kits, but decide to source all the parts yourself, the build time is 3 to 6 hours. There is a very large range because, for example, we've heard stories from people who needed several hours just to pair the BlueTooth modules (they'd just never done it before and the process is rather arcane). We have also had many cases of people buying the wrong parts when self-sourcing, and that's a source of delays.

 Vorpal The Hexapod is a low cost, easy to build hexapod that includes a Bluetooth gamepad. All the structural parts are 3D printed, allowing you to modify the design easily, reprint parts when needed, and save money (if you have a 3D printer) by only purchasing the electronic parts.
